I had another lazy day–swimming in the morning, reading in the afternoon when the rain storm hit, and walking to the wharf with John. We ate a quiet dinner at water’s edge while watching a pair of dolphins swim nearby.

I finally saw the power plant, but it was from a distance across the bay. I’ll never be able to go to the site, so what I saw from our outdoor dinner table was it. I snapped a shot of John (actually smiling!) with the power plant far away in the background. The photo of the rippling water barely caught the dolphins, but I captured the sunset quite well.

Australia has been “a sustained outbreak of joyousness.”
