November in Sydney and the temperatures soared to 36 degrees (and I am talking centigrade here) for almost a week. People flocked to the beaches to bake in the warmth of the sun.
this is so beautiful and great images!
Surprise! You found some 🙂 🙂
Well… I did have a few to choose from 😉
And soon we’ll be talking 36 Fahrenheit here in southern Texas. 😦
It’s probably somewhere close to that temp here today and forecast to become colder – brrr…
I agree: brrrrrrrrrrr
Lovely beach scenes to gaze at longingly!
It WAS hot, but the mango smoothie was very good 🙂
After today, I can really feel the warmth in those photos Jude. If only…X
Well it is warm indoors 😀
As I type with my wool sleeves pulled down over my hands these photos are good for the soul Jude. 🙂
I found it rather TOO hot Sue, and I still can’t understand how people can lie there like that. Cooking…
And me too, as I chill in, of all places, Queensland where it’s usually sweltering at this time of year. Warm is a while back!
I’m sure it isn’t as cold as here Meg 🙂 Snow on the Titterstones (I can just see it from the end of my lane) and a deep frost last night though today is cold it is also sunny, and I have just returned from a very short walk around the town. I don’t mind dry cold at all.
Dry cold / dry heat are both easier than the moist variety, I reckon. I’m loving your place names and the seemingly infinite variety of your home town. One of the first jobs of the new year is hanging my Ludlow glass.
I’ve never really been a fan of summer but I’ll admit I have a new-found appreciation of our temperate climate as I sit here listening to all you Northerners shivering.
Well I’m quite toasty – inside with the heating on 🙂 And it is a lovely sunny day today so quite nice to wrap up warm and have a walk. At least there is no danger of sunburn 😀
Good memories Jude?
Actually this was one of my hottest days so I was a bit hot and bothered by the time I reached this point (I was on a heritage trail through Manly) so decided to cut the walk short (my intention had been to continue to the quarantine station on the heads and then catch a bus back). Luscious mango smoothie though from the kiosk – I recommend the toasties too – they looked rather scrumptious!
It has cooled down a lot now, about 28, and it has been raining steadily for 3 days with more to come. Could have some flooding soon…
A good job you took the photo of the girl from the back otherwise the blog would need a NSFW tag.
True – though if you look through the gallery she also appears in one of those images – too far away to see much though 😉
I just couldn’t get over the fact that people still cook themselves like this!
I think I recognise her 🙂
They must be crazy. Two friends of mine have had skin cancer. It is not funny or remotely trivial.
It’s brrrrrrrrr season here !! I could use some beach Rays (not topless – egads!!)
Well I hope I have sent you some virtual warmth Sammy 🙂
I think you have to be very young, and very slim to get away with being topless – and who wants to bake in the sun like that anyway? Not me, give me a nice shady spot and a cool glass of wine and I am happy.
No kidding – I just laughed out loud because you wrote ‘click to enlarge photo’ and the first was the hint of breasts. I thought I should hand the I-pad to Hub 😊
I don’t think I’d have bared them even in my youth -as you say, heat on that tender skin just seemed it’d be painful.
We have bright sunshine today before flurries tomorrow. As long as I get sunny interludes I’ll make it through January!
You were a true photo-journalist, Jude – out there doing your most rewarding thang regardless of weather !
And, of course, you always are …
Happy memories of you, m’dear.
Too kind of you M-R 😉
This was one of those hot Sydney days, in fact the storm clouds gathered as I was taking these photos and within an hour it was actually raining!
Vot ken I say …?
I know: CLIMATE CHANGE !
😀
Well Jude – you’ve depressed us all with these shots of your beautiful summer weather! Happy Holidays to you.
Sadly Tina I am back in the northern hemisphere now, so although my son and family still enjoy days like these, I have frosty days at the moment… 🙂
Ah well, all good things must end! Hopefully a milder winter than last year Jude!
That Mango smoothie sounds like it would be amazing. I would love a little beach time right now.
That mango smoothie is the best I have ever had! And the beach is pretty amazing too…
