Autumn Vineyard

I took a drive down the channel today and the vineyards had beautiful autumn colours like this one.

Today is Australia day which commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet in Australia in 1788 and is a holiday in all states and territories of Australia. Around the country like here at Kingston Beach there were celebrations to mark the occassion.
The day is controversal with Indigenous Australians who see the date as marking the destruction of their culture and there are annual protests refering to the day as “Invasion Day” and have been campaigning to have the date moved to the day the Government officially apologised for past actions.

Kingston Beach south of Hobart. It looks like a pleasant day but this shot is all the more remarkable as at the most 15 minutes earlier today a fierce front had rolled through with rain and strong wind yet a quarter of an hour later calm and pleasant.
