A Sign of the Times?

Well no, actually, I haven't a clue what it says, nor am I going to find out.

Perhaps it's a warning of all the dangerous creatures and activities that could put one at risk if they come ashore, a bit like the ones that warn us before we enter the water.

Ships Passing

And soon it will be night.

2020 Hindsight.

I posted a version of this photograph on my other blog in March. At that point we were all staring out to sea, scanning the horizon for a sign that "the pandemic" was rolling inexorably toward us.

Fortunately, the view from Moffat Beach is pretty much directly towards New Zealand, and unlike the rest of the world, we have thus far been spared that particular tsunami.

But the cracks are appearing.

Yes, it is.

Sunshine Coast Life under Covid 19

This is not a gloating photo, rather it's an expression of gratitude that we live in one of the safest places in one of the safest countries on the globe.

We have had the good fortune (and credit to the Government for its good management as well) to have experienced almost no community transmission.

However, life is not normal. Bars are open with strict regulations (no dancing for instance) and we can visit in groups of up to thirty (socially distanced) people.

The sky is blue and spring temperatures are still down in the mid twenties, so it's a bit cool for the beach, not that this lot understands that!

Skywatch!

It's been a decade at least since I last participated in Skywatch Friday. The sky around here is so well sky-like of late that it's a bit hard not to share.
