Wet Warm Australian Summer

FF
The rain has set in and regularly cools the afternoons down. The lush vegetation is a myriad of greens and seems to be constantly shrouded in a cool mist. Walking is such a subtle way of moving through enough examples of the most interesting lifestyles to be completely lucky enough to see snapshots of life as it really is. And when those brief snapshots tell a bigger story instead of suggest more questions, what a complex world that we all live in.
