Unhappy Local

An unhappy local that didn’t much like me at South Arm.
Fallen Tree at Five Mile Beach

A fallen tree on Five Mile Beach, East of Hobart. Five Mile beach is on the opposite side of Seven Mile Beach and is very shallow even when the tide is high. When i was there there were beautiful reflections thanks to not a breath of wind and combined with the sun being so low in the sky right now so soon after the winter solace, even this shot during the middle of the day had some interesting colour in the sky.
Opossum Bay Beach

Today’s photo is from Opossum Bay, a beachside town near the mouth of the Derwent. On a hot summer’s day it can be a great place to spend some time and some of the homes are literally next to the beach
Just Some Flowers …

Not much to show, just some flowers at the side of the road to mark the place where two people died yesterday on the South Arm Highway. It was part of a horror day on Tasmanian Roads where 9 people were killed in accidents on the State’s roads. To put it in perspective, the road toll for the whole of last year was I believe 48, so nine in a day is shocking and it seems unnecessary. People weren’t driving to the conditions, people were driving dangerously and some people were just unlucky, being killed by people not doing one of the first two.
So i am asking all my readers, take care on the roads and drive to the conditions. Some courtesy doesn’t hurt either. But don’t end up with just some flowers to mark where you died unnecessarily.
