Today is the first day of Autumn in Australia and it has poured with rain all day.
It is also the first day I have been home all week, so on the first day of Autumn I have decided to have a Spring clean. Always was a late developer!!
I have also finished writing up the calendar for the photo club events for the rest of the year and in the middle of everything else two friends dropped in (at different times). Consequently I haven't taken a photo today, so this is one I took at Stockton at the boat races recently. It just looked as though the ship was leaving minus a few of its passengers.
@hermann@jaynspain@marie65@kathiecb@steampowered@joeyc@lafish Thanks to all of you. The big ship in the picture is a coal ship just leaving Newcastle. I believe it is called a capesize ship and is a bulk carrier. The other bulk carriers we get here I believe are classed as Panamax and are smaller, designed to travel through the Panama and Suez canals. Capesize were named because they had to pass through the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn.
@eyesmile@huvesaker@gamelee@ivan@golftragic Thanks so much. I am really on catch up tonight and I want to check out people's photos too.
I think the big boat won! Not even Navy rowers could catch up.
