I never thought the difference would be so obvious…
until I visited the Melbourne Zoo after…
seeing the same animals roaming free in
Botswana and Kruger National Park.

My first photo is of Mount Elephant….
a volcanic cone,
one of the many in Western Victoria.
I have never been to the top of Mt Elephant
but driven past it hundreds of times in my life.
From the top of Mt Rigi
overlooking Lake Lucerne.
from Grouse Mountain,
Vancouver, Canada.

At leisure…
on a Nice beach.
Not to be out done, locals and tourists alike,
were enjoying the sun on
the shores of Lake Lucerne
a few days earlier.

On this chilly Victorian winter Sunday
my thoughts took me…
to a sunny September day, in 2016, on…
and around Lake Lucerne.
A few days later we were strolling along
Nice’s Promenade des Anglais…
where many were enjoying
a lazy day in the sun.
Last two images are two sections of one larger photo.

Tuesday Photo Challenge
Heat
~~~~~
Our largest source of Heat,
the Sun,
drives many people to our beaches
during the summer months.
These sun lovers on and along Lake Lucerne had
shed their day wear for beach attire on a day
which most of us thought was pleasant but not hot.
However, I’m sure there a plenty who would
have a chuckle at me saying a day
was chilly, temperature under 20 degrees Celsius,
and cold under 10 degrees.
All a matter of perspective.

Weekly Photo Challenge-Ascend

My contribution for this week’s challenge…
Ascend
~~~~~
To be able to admire this view…
we had to…
ascend the Spiral Staircase in the Vatican.
In Lucerne we ascended Mt Rigi…
via a tourist train.
I thought the train was taking us to the top.
However, we had to ascend/walk this path before…
This was taken about half way up/down.
The rail journey ended at that building on the left.
we were able to take in the beautiful views…
from the top of Mt Rigi.
at the top, I had a brief meeting with my knees.
They declined the offer to ascend
this viewing platform citing the return journey
was going to be more precarious
than walking up to the top.
As always they were correct!
