As the seasons turn (winter)...

Some winter pics I've taken of places I've been in South Australia this year.

A local beach with a storm approaching. It can get pretty wild when they hit.
The River Torrens flooding. Most of the year this a veritable trickle. Winter is the rainy season in Australia and this August has been the rainiest in 18 years. Good, but it's still in drought around here overall.
See where the bench is? Yep, it's flooded. Unless you want your feet wet, that is.One of the Torrens catchments. The graffiti is evidence this is dry most of the time. I have learned the true meaning of "flash flood" from watching this go from empty to like this in mere minutes.
Remind me to reprise this in 6-month's time, ok?
