I wish it worked that way. I loved your sunset photos and the beautiful nighttime skyline. I always like "coming along" on your walks, but I'm not sorry to have missed the heat and humidity.

Hopefully the clouds will lift soon.<br />Walking along the beach late afternoon is a delight, especially if there is a golden sunset in the west. Not on this day, unfortunately.<br /><br />I haven't made food posts but I could easily do so with the amazing meals we hikers get to share. Meat pie and mushy peas was once the traditional fare of Aussies. Meat and 3 veg was what most households ate until the 80's. Gradually, since then, we have become a multiculural country and thankfully, our menus now reflect this.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051160693725705930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385127495391454105.post-59853270853507445082018-01-21T13:57:46.102-08:002018-01-21T13:57:46.102-08:00Thank you Joan.

The pelican shot was a surprise for me. I had zoomed in to see what was actually happening at the tidal edge. It wasn't until I got home that I realised I had a lovely image. The pelicans would have been waiting for the success of the fishermen.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051160693725705930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385127495391454105.post-67318412168357674212018-01-21T05:17:48.707-08:002018-01-21T05:17:48.707-08:00Extreme heat there, extremely cloudy here (with th...Extreme heat there, extremely cloudy here (with the bonus of mild winter temperatures)... :)<br />Great photos, all of them. I would have liked to join the Hungry Hikers especially for the Week 3 walk! The beach looks so wonderful and I love the sculpture, even though in general I don't understand contemporary art at all.<br />Thank you for your comment! I'm sure the fruit pie was delicious. Have you ever made food posts? It would be very interesting to read for example about some traditional dishes of your area.<br />Have a great new week! xxSara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385127495391454105.post-40800712193549715852018-01-20T20:25:52.776-08:002018-01-20T20:25:52.776-08:00There is no way I would be walking in Queensland h...There is no way I would be walking in Queensland humidity.
