Ferry to Bundeena
We joined Megan’s grandparents for a ferry ride from Cronulla to Bundeena. The ferry we took was called “M.V. Curranulla”. The operators claim this ferry to be the oldest commuter ferry in Australia working to a regular timetable.
Australian Ants
Australia’s reputation for large insects and dangerous animals is well known. In daily life encountering the nastier creatures however is unlikely. What does surprise me is the size of the more mundane animals.
Town Hall Lights
I had a few minutes to spare outside Sydney’s Town Hall. The main door was open and I took the opportunity to venture inside with my camera in hand.
Sudden Hail
We were not long in the Hyde Park before a rumble of thunder suggested we move on. Within a few moments of reaching shelter a hail storm begun. The hail was dense and soaked those caught within its reach.
Full Schedule
Our Calendar decided we had some additional appointments.
Lake Annecy
The surrounding landscape is awe inspiring with mountains rising up from the shore to the north and woodland covers most of the rugged views.
Religious Annecy – The New
Standing over the town of Annecy is the Basilique de la Visitation. This imposing modern church is far removed in location and style from the churches of the old town.
Watery Annecy - Bridges and Canals
Annecy is perched on the edge of a lake. Tributaries of the lake flow through the old town. The flow of water is managed and channeled between, under, and around buildings.
Religious Annecy - The Old
Annecy has quite a history with regard to religion and its role as a seat of religious power. Geneva is close by and Annecy claimed a reactionary anti-reformation stance.
Soaked Annecy - Old and New Town
Annecy has a pretty old town and a generic modern component too. Even in the rain our exploration was fun.
