On the way home - Citroen DS

No wise words here.

After a long day wandering around our National Capital its both sad and nice to be heading home. The afternoon light on the Federal Highway was low to the west, bright and comfortably warm. Brad had dozed off in the front passenger seat as we floated home in the comfort of a Citroen DS.

Canberra gets knocked for being a boring and dull place but I'm yet to be bored there. The cues to see the painings from the Musée d'Orsay were long but the wait was worth it. The part I found odd was the idea of how you can properly appreciate the art amid the hundreds of onlookers. As I'm tall seing paintings was easy but there were even people in wheelchairs squeezed in for a geez!

Get there if you can. Cheaper than a flight to Paris....

I'm back to keeping an eye out for interesting gates. I love these things and am amazed at how many still exist even after a house has had a "make over" and lost all its other original features. I guess if a gates a swingin on its hinge its a workin!

The wind came up this afternoon and knocked a large palm frond down. On its way down it struck the hills hoist causing the peg basket to flick pegs everywhere. I was watching as it happened, quite a spectacular series of events!

I have a love hate relationship with my Instax 100 (can you have a relationship with a camera?) It works well in daylight even overcast light but the moment the light dulls the darn thing gives me the horror of "auto flash".

My current hoard of Instax has all gone.....best find more.
