Now this is the good part. Today I shipped my camera to Canon in North Ryde to be cleaned in preparation for the airshow, so yall can thank me for the flangs.
What a night, really unbelievable, these falls are so widespread. I thought it had missed us but I was wrong, looks like we are going to get caned after all. It is exciting and could be annoying at the same time once I have to clean up the house and the yard.
