Resting under the shade of the tree at HMAS Penguin. It did get quite warm this afternoon. Not in a totally sultry way but it was warm enough to make you aware we’re in summer. D’s colleague from Boston was in town and we took her to Thelma and Louise for brunch followed by a walk around Georges Head in Chowder Bay. Aren’t Sydney siders lucky?

I love the Sydney skyline in the background. Even though I was shooting smack bang in the middle of the day almost 12pm I over-exposed it a bit to get the details in the shadow under the canopy of the tree. There was not a soul to be spotted around that area until of course the time I pointed my camera in the direction of the tree. Luckily though in my opinion their presence seem to add to the photo.
