Illusory View
Yesterday, Year 9 and 4 teachers (including moi) travelled to Phillip Island in Westernport Bay to observe examples of eco tourism.
This is a view of the approach to the island.
On the left is the arching bridge linking mainland and island.
As I photographed it through the bus window, I noted I caught the reflected shape of the bus driver and segments of street views on the other side of the bus.
The reflection looked like some framed art hanging in an outdoor gallery!

Last of Summer Skies
Last of summer skies over Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula
Autumn began with a vengeance yesterday - chilly winds and icy rain.
And last night it was announced on the news that we had 22 days of summer - above 30 degrees C. (I thought that there were less days than that!)
Was it really only last weekend that I took this photo?
Sweet summer sunlight
Cooling breath of sea breezes
The delight of warmth

The Dog Sign
A sign on the Frankston foreshore, Mornington Peninsula.
The leashed message of the sign is quite familiar on my peninsula, but this is the only dog sign displaying a "specific time frame" message in a dog shape?
Perhaps the reason is because it is not far from a children's playground?
(And the time frame represents the summer holidays.)
Dogs so love the beach
But they share it with humans
