Cold with Sleet
Filed under: Eastern Shore, Hobart, Hobart Port and Waterfront, Night

Here in Hobart we are having a burst of wintery weather with cold windy weather and last night snow was forecast down to 100 metres, a most unusual event when it happens. I felt a little ripped off when i woke up and there was no snow around my place or even my side of the river it seemed. We did have a couple of people at work who wandered in at various times in the morning thanks to the snow cutting some of their ways to work!
Tonight’s photo is of Hobart and the Port looking across the Derwent River from Bellerive that i took last night. I do like the way that the light of the city is shines on the sleet that was coming down. With the chill wind and rain i didn’t take as long as i would like to, hence the bit of a tree in one corner!
Fire on the Queens Domain

This photo from Lindisfarne looking across the River
I noticed a fire last night and i had the chance so i grabbed the cameras and headed off to get a few photos. Turned out the fire i could see was a small one (7 ha) on the Queens Domain and while the fire website declares the fire contained there is not much to see (as the last photo suggests!)
