City lights

Adelaide's CBD and the adjacent River Torrens

 

Joining in James' Weekend Reflection

Day's End

Escaping the day's heat at a local beach in time to catch the sun setting

 

The ever-changing sky painted an extraordinary canvas of swirling colours

 

 Hordes of people were similarly cooling off - families having picnics on the lawns, others strolling at the water's edge, still more playing beach volleyball and some

just walking the dog

 

Although the wide variety of amazing treats inside this establishment were very tempting,

a delicately flavoured ice-cream did the trick!

. . . while on the other side of the sky, the melon-shaped moon was making

its presence evident

and a week or two ago I spotted this from my garden  (is it any wonder I continue to have the "travel bug" !?)

With continuing thanks to the respective hosts, I am joining the throngs contributing to

Skywatch Friday and

Another Louvre attraction

 

This fountain is in the grounds of the Louvre in Paris

and adjacent to the illuminated pyramid I posted earlier this month.

Downtown Vancouver

Thanks to the generosity of a member of the West Vancouver Seniors

Photography Group who agreed to accompany me on a night shoot during

a brief stopover in Vancouver en route to Vancouver Island,

this shot was taken on one side of Robson Square in Downtown Vancouver at dusk.

With thanks to the hosts of straight out of the camera sunday
