In the Shade

This character was in the shade of a road bridge traversing the Maribyrnong River near the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. A pleasant summer afternoon after some intense rain over the previous 24 hours or so.
Thanks for your views, comments and favs for "Princes Park".
