Sunny Clouds

We are now in the middle of a rainy patch of winter; short, wet, gloomy days. Of course there have been some gloriously sunny, but cold days – days to look forward to. But even so It is nice to have a reminder of summer, and here it is lovely bright white, fluffy clouds from February.

Winter Solstice

Sunrise in Kilsyth on the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice occurs for a moment when the earth is at its maximum tilt away from the sun, giving us the shortest day. And it was a beautiful foggy, and very cold, morning – just right for catching the sunrise.

IBM – Clock Speed

Hopefully this brings new meaning to the term clock-speed.  To me, without looking under “the bonnet”, it looks as though this International Business Machine runs at about 1 hertz – one movement each second! We found this clock hanging in The Old Brewery in Beechworth.

Gum Flowers

Here are some flowers on a gum tree just around the corner from work to show that it isn’t all gloom and doom in a wintry Melbourne.  I Love the contrast between the flowers and the dark green foliage, it’s one of the few colourful bursts at this time of year on my lunchtime walks.

Giant Campbells Can

Giant Can of Soup

A giant can of Campbell’s soup can be found towering over the Campbell’s factory [^] on the outskirts of Shepparton [^] in North-eastern Victoria.

It makes for a quite disconcerting sight, a massive can of soup, in the classic Campbell’s livery, suspended over the fruit trees that are normal associated with the city! But what a wonderful sight it makes against an early morning blue sky.
