a life aquatic

just when we thought we had seen the last of it, the heavens open again and the prediction is for a wet month of March :( this pic has been doing the rounds today.

YES its BONDI BEACH but not as we usually know it... NO, that is NOT a waterfall water feature, and those stairs don't usually have a torrent of water flowing over them! nice use of the model to help out in emphasising the CRAZINESS of this day!

It's change of season time, though some would argue about the viability of our summer.... Sydney has been DIRE... on the upside, there are a few excellent sales on 'round town this week(end)...
