End of the holidays


The end of the holidays is fast approaching. The schools will be back next week. Tomorrow, Australia Day public holiday, and the weekend will be big days for the crowds here in Terrigal.

Those of us lucky enough to live in this beautiful place are looking forward to the town being a little quieter from next week.

It's been a very hot January. Hot and even more humid than usual. It has been stormy but rain has only interrupted the beachgoers on a few days and then usually only for a few hours late aftenoon.

Today, Thursday 25th, it is again very hot and oppressively humid and there is a layer of cloud so it does not look its usual Kodachrome best. The top photo was taken this morning at Terrigal Beach. 

The summer of 23/24 has been the year of the cobana on the beaches.  People are being more sun conscious although all the pretty young things running around still seem very tanned so sadly I cannot see the skin cancer clinics running short of patients anytime soon
 

The second photo is one of my favourites and was taken on the 29th January 7 years ago at nearby Avoca Beach and shows teenagers, enjoying the last day of the school holiday jumping from the headland into the surf on another very hot day.

The top photo was taken with the Leica Q2. The bottom photo was taken with the Leica X Vario
