Hello There,

Finally got out of the house to take a few pictures at 6am this morning, we in Northern Australia are in the grip of a very long heatwave, 40C+ temps and 80-90% humidity, I have a feeling this global warming is going to fry us all.

Well I usualy use Kodak P&S DCs but decided to give the Canon A70 a bit of a go, nice litle camera, plenty of features and for me most importantly, long battery life.

I updated my website today, it is not a folio of my best work, just my way of sharing a bit of Australia with anyone that cares to take a look.

Thank you for your Time.

Dave, looks like you've made changes to the site since I last visited. It's looking good. What kind of shot could you make that really captures the heat you guys are getting?

Took me a bit to see what you were showing. Still can't believe you lot don't have air conditioning. What's your normal summer like - highs in the 80s F? 26 C?

No.. this is the hottest summer in 80 years they keep saying in the media. I grew up in this crap out bush so i am somewhat used to it. Summer is always hot 32-37c (90-99f) Its just when it pushes that last 4c out that the crap hits the fan as it were. They are setting up sprinklers on the large distribution transformers in the switch yards to stop them blowing up.

Ice in that drink sir ?
