The First Dray Of Winter

Today is the official start of winter, so I headed downstairs at lunchtime to get some shots to give you an idea of what a beautiful day it is. The gale-force winds of the past 48 hours have vanished and we have mainly blue skies and a crisp day. I had shot about a dozen frames and was about to turn back when I heard the distinctive ``clip-clop'' of horseshoes on asphalt. Nothing like a couple of well groomed Clydesdales (and a Melbourne tram) to give you a picture of a sunny winter day here Down Under. To get an idea of just how sunny it's been, check out the shadow of the horses.
