YARRA RIVER BY NIGHT

“Love is the river of life in the world.” - Henry Ward Beecher

A relaxing Saturday today, with the usual morning chores, some grocery shopping, then a relaxing afternoon and a wonderful evening out. Driving back home tonight, I couldn't resist stopping on Boathouse Drive by the Yarra and snapping a couple of shots of the city by night and the Swan St Bridge. The river flowed slowly, the night air was crisp and fresh and the only sounds I could hear were some distant traffic and the gentle lapping of the water. A quiet night as winter approaches and with most people warm as toast at home. It seems that only crazy photographers were out there taking photos...

Here’s Audrey Hepburn singing Henry Mancini’s “Moon River” from what is perhaps her most famous film: “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.

  1. Have you noticed that your behaviour has changed over the last few years, as a result of being a blogger? In pre-blogging times, you might have driven right past the Yarra. Or you might have stopped to enjoy the scenery. Now you stop to get great material for your next post :)

    If I am in a coffee shop with my women friends for Sunday brunch, I look at all the weekend coloured magazines first. If an article looks promising for a future blog post, I grab it and stick it in my handbag, before sharing a week's gossip with the sisterhood.
