Scenic Sunday – A walk on the beach

I invite you to walk with me on this lovely sunny afternoon.

2 kite surfers were out having fun (pictures below); their large kites adding colours to the beautiful blue sky.

The platform below leads to a pergola out at sea. I took this photo from there, looking back towards the beach. You can see some tall buildings which is in city of Melbourne – e.g. the 2 tall bluish buildings a quarter way from the right. The city is about 10 minutes by car from this beach.

Popular transport modes to the city includes by tram and by bicycle.

You are making me feel a tad jealous about your weather getting warmer and mine getting colder!

I bet the winds are perfect by the shore for kite flying.
