Robert's Ramblings

I finally found a dry and cosy place to take photos on this cold, rainy, wintry evening: under the new King Street bridge.

For most of 2011 many locals lamented the closure of the old King Street bridge. So it was a wonderful relief back in January when the new bridge restored normality. A few weeks ago I was surprised and delighted to discover that the bridge had changing colour feature lighting. I knew then that I'd be back with my camera sooner or later!

As it turned out it was 'later' but no longer risks being never!

Goodbye to our wonderful Indian summer and greet in its place the wintery wet weather for cormorants (much more elegant than ducks) that has descended on us this weekend.

This Little Black Cormorant ,Phalacrocorax sulcirostris seems quite at home here at West Beach. Clearly the photographer is more the concern than the rain!
