Dawn in Sydney

Glimpses of Mt Fuji
January 2025
We didn’t see as much of it as we would have liked from Five Lakes, but we did have two more chances before we left Japan.
The first was a day later from Hokuriku Shinkansen (Tokyo to Nagano), which seems to be very unusual, and was also difficult to photograph:
The second was from the airbridge to our flight home from Haneda:

Austere relative to what must be a truly spectacular spring and autumn.

366 days / 1775 days
I started uploading photos taken in 2020 to Flickr on February 27, 2020, including these:
Later in 2020 it became A Thing to count every day as part of March 2020 (ie, today is the 1773rd of March, 2020), In that spirit, today is the 1775th, and also the last, day of 2020 in terms of my photo processing.
Fittingly, today’s final upload features these “2020 SUCKS” cupcakes my kids decorated on December 31:
2020 retrospective
Fires
More (and, December 2019)
Rain
By the time I was uploading my mediocre videos of heavy rain from January and February of 2020 (this one was uploaded in January 2024), it was becoming a little hard to remember why I was so excited about it.

The last sport my son was willing to play other than cricket (always willing to play cricket) was a season of AFL. I used to cycle the Bay Run circuit in the dark while he trained under the brutal lights of the football oval.
These are phone photos, but don’t argue with #GloriousSydney.
