This will hurt me...

Here we are looking up at the Hydro building one morning last week. Christ I have been busy!

We've FINALLY had a bit of sunshine. Here is the view of sunny Tranmere on Hobart's eastern shore as seen from Battery Point on Hobart's western shore. The general rule (that is, the rule I made up ) is " eastern shore, just add four [degrees Celsius] ". You don't say the "degrees Celsius" part aloud, as it totally ruins the metre of the saying. Time for Sunday Top Five ! My top five names vetoed by Jen for either son: 1: Frederick 2: Napoleon 3: Ludwig 4: Ulysses 5: Cersobleptes

So that's the last of them, and hopefully I will have relaxed by the time this goes up. Which did you like best? I'm happy for the feedback, as it might sharpen my eye for what draws people's eye and what might not.

You may have noticed a pattern in the titles today, oh yes it has been a grand day indeed! There is an equation that is guaranteed to grind my gears , get my goat and aggravate my normally placid demeanour . It looks something like: ( Incompetence * Ignorance ) / Hypocrisy + ( Inefficiency * Righteous indignation ) = a very angry man .

Here is shot two, this will appear as if by magic, as my presence is seemingly essential at yet another meaningless event rather than doing my actual job. So, fingers crossed on that new job!

I’m going on another posting splurge today, because I have taken four photos this morning, and can’t decide which I like best. Therefore, I shall post them all and leave it up to you to decide. Here is number one, in which I like the effect of the sun just breaking through the clouds and illuminating the river. You would be forgiven for being surprised that we had high winds and a lot of rain just an hour and a half later.

I have found the ideal photograph for the inside fold of the debut LP that I have blogged on previously . Yeah, another shot straight into the sun, but I generally only do it at either ends of the day. The thing that I like most about it is that you can make out only a select few shapes and movement from this vantage point. Thus, you are left pretty much unaware of exactly who or what it is that is coming straight at you. This lack of knowledge would terrify some, but the fact that it is the sunshine and not the moon has a calming effect on me. The explanation is juvenile, as when this happens I generally imagine that it will resemble something out of an ad for Coca Cola from the early 1980s. Thus, in my head it is less likely to be a serial killer, and more likely a curvy brunette wearing a bikini. Dripping wet. And smiling. And thirsty. Good times.
