Technically I am still on hiatus so I don't hurt my shoulder. But I had time to kill, so I went somewhere I knew I could get photos without putting my body on the line...

Which was true... Until this shot.
Bitter cold Melbourne winter. Getting dark, quickly. And colder, quicker. I got couple of nice shots, and was a bout to leave when I saw this monument... thing... Not sure what it was, but it framed the sunset so beautifully...
And to get the photo I wanted, I needed to climb a brick fence/wall. Camera around my neck, I climbed (not using my bad arm) and sat on the wall. It's been a LOT of years since I climbed anything (I'm terrified of heights - standing on a chair is enough for me), but it was worth the discomfort and taunts from the nearby roadwork men who were amused at the fatty climbing.
Oddly, my fears never came into it. It was such a serene moment, and I am glad I got the photo to show for it.
