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.
Giant Campbells Can
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.
Wintry Leaves
So much for my hope that the weather would hold until the weekend! Wintry weather hit with a vengeance at the end of the week. Rain and cold wind were the order of the day. At least there were still some leaves left to make a good photo of.
