Hi Frothers !

 

I hope you had a great weekend. Maybe you’ve been away from the craze and left the ‘burbs for quieter landscapes, and less busy waves. Maybe you’ve enjoyed Sydney wrapped in flags. Maybe you’ve stayed local since the weather wasn’t actually as bad as forecasted (bloody weatherman !). In any case, I hope you’ve enjoyed the long weekend.

If you were away for yesterday’s celebrations, here are some shots to help you catch up. A little bit of ”street photography” style shots, for a change. Cool summer and family vibes around the beach. The cloudy morning quickly became a perfect day.

The only thing that made me mad is this group of people sitting next to us on the sand. They brought a big bag with soft drinks, beers, cups and food. After coming back from the water from a quick dip, they had left. But all their trash was still on the sand. All of it. Not even the slightest effort made to take some of it to the bins which were only 40 meters away, forcing us to clean for them. I usually try to have empathy with people, but I just don’t get that. I don’t.

Finally, on a different note, yesterday brought a bad news: Big Wave Dave from Let’s Go Surfing passed away in an avalanche. A really sad news for our community. Our thoughts to Dave’s close ones.

Enjoy today.
