Vaporisation... by bdb3471

Vaporisation...

photo 317
Went to Surfers Paradise yesterday and all it did was rain. However this scene caught my attention, the thongs were just sitting there at the base of the steps as though the person just vaporised out of them

Nice one. I love the bright yellow with the grey. Although 'thongs' in England are something entirely different ;o) xx

@ozziehoffy I had to take a mates son down to a surfing lesson. If I wasn't doing that I would have been home in the dry.
