So I got a new camera...

[wishfulthinking]

...and thought I would post a couple of my test shots of where I live.

But don't be fooled - it is soooo f*#@ing hot here right now!!! I'm melting.

Articles have said that due to global warming, where we live will be inhabitable in about 20 years. Apparently the temp has risen 1-3 degrees celcius already. But I don't think it would be due to heat, but more so to water resources and drought.

what kind of camera did you get?

 

[wishfulthinking]

Notice how everyone is sitting in the shade. It's because the sand BURNS it is that hot. [edited to add: this is not a brag. I would love to see some snow right now]

Yep, Oz. But identifying country is ok, since it is a big island and all

 

[SensualMale]

Hot or not, that looks like a nice place.

what kind of camera did you get?

The basic, idiot proof kind! Kodak easyshare.

I remember back to when I lived in Oz, in Toowoomba, and my shoes kept getting stuck on the pavements as the tarmac melted.

 

[wishfulthinking]

[Opps. Posted the jetty now instead of the hill twice.]

Toowoomba can get warm, but gets really cool in winter [by my standards]. But yeah, the black tarmac seems to get spongy, doesn't it?

edited to add: bitumen, not tarmac. [got me speaking non-oz! ]

It is the Z740, but I think model numbers vary between countries. Not sure. Have fun purchasing one. There is too much choice, and with all their gizmos, little way of comparing them.

Well it's night time snow, but still snow!

Hmm, I rmember friends telling me about having Christmas Dinner in their wading pool, it was so damn hot while they lived in Townsend.

Ozone layer? What ozone layer?
