Goldcoast Sunset for Skywatch Friday

 


Goldcoast sunset is an iconic scene

Linking Skywatch Friday


Joel works 5 days a week in a senior position of a retail chain. I brought some crispy pork to house during a workday as he works from home. Then I discover that he has yet slept for 48 hours as he is trying to get the server back up for the company. He looks terrible. It reminds me that it is a blessing that I do not need to work everyday anymore. 


I discovered an old film photo from Year 9 that Joel and I travelled to Canberra Australia in 1993. 

I was pissed off that he couldn't stop playing heavy metal on his Walkman.

  1. A beautiful scene with the layers of water, colors, composition. And lovely to see this photo of you and your friend. I wouldn't be too happy hearing heavy metal continuously either :)

  3. What a great pic of you & Joel! It irritates me when we visit someone, and they won't turn off the T.V. or music. I hope Joel is not ill. Your Goldcoast shot is really a Bluecoast. It is stunning and reminds me of a Van Gogh painting.

  10. Beautiful shot of the Gold Coast.
    Working can be a drag at times, but it pays the bills.

  11. I retired after 55 years in radio--- It did take me a while to learn to not go to work. I love the picture.

  13. Gorgeous scenery. Stopping at the Gold Coast to enjoy some time in the sand was a highlight for me on a long ago trip to Australia.

  18. Lo que menos me gusta de esta bonita foto es la mala costumbre que se tiene en todos lugares de plantar rascacielos en la misma arena de la playa.

    Saludos.
