Daylight savings in Melbourne

Since daylight savings has taken effect in Melbourne, I now arrive at class with the sun still high in the sky.

The rowers are practicing on the Yarra river every evening.  Here you can see the MCG in the background, behind the St Kilda rd bridge.

The weather is very changeable.  From sunny

to hail (I think – almost looked like fine snow)  within half an hour.

The Eureka building is across from class, so we all grabbed the chance to take a photo of this unusual type of rain.

Mist in Melbourne

On Wednesday evening, the clouds came down really low over the city.  It was absolutely awesome to see the buildings disappear into the clouds.  I have not seen the city look like this before.

The rowers were also out in force.  I was cold, but obviously the exercise was keeping them warm, since they were all wearing short sleeves.

 

They really move fast!  I just love this photo.  Because of low light, the exposure was a few seconds long.
