Man, Dog and Soccer
I was at Sandy Bay Saturday where i photographed people swimming and it seemed strange to see people playing Soccer which i always think of as a winter sport on the sports ground behind. Sitting in the car i was lucky enough to then get the man and his dog come into view letting me take the shot you see now.
Bellerive Oval
Today’s photo is of Bellerive Oval where Australia are taking on South Africa in a one day international cricket match. The crowd capacity is set today for around 16,000 although its a bit too crowded for my tastes. And worse … they don’t sell full strength beer at the international matches !!!!
I deliberately wanted to show what a beautiful location it is set in with a park and beach between the ground and the river. The city of Hobart is across the river and to the right.
Beach Volleyball
In the summer months Kingston Beach is popular with beach volleyball teams.

Wild Oats XI wins the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race
This morning Wild Oats XI won the Sydney Hobart Yacht race for its fourth time in a row. Second place Skandia was visible and finished an hour and seven minutes later which would have been disappointing as at one time yesterday Skandia was leading the race until becoming becalmed. Wild Oats XI on the other hand had to stop after one of its rudders became tangled with a 2 metre shark!
