As the rest of the world shivers in winter, it's still a scorching summer here in Australia. And as we enjoy five months of daylight saving from the last weekend of October to the last weekend in March, this mean that it only gets dark about nine o'clock. This would have been tough if you belonged to the school of thought that only reached for the whiskey decanter after dark! This shot was taken on Hindley Street, which is the main restaurant strip in beautiful Adelaide, capital of South Australia and as you can see from the large digital clock, it was 8.50pm. The scene captivated me on several counts - the colonial architecture, the azure sky, the neon lighting and the many different light patterns on the footpath and walls and across the laneway in mid-frame. And I only just realised there is one unique thing about this picture. For a street that is always pulsating with action, there is not a single person in the shot.
