Sometimes for our evening walk we pick up coffees and walk along the eastern side of Exile Bay. This was the scene mid-august as the sun was setting over the Bay. The shots are looking west over Bayview Park with the Bushells Factory being the prominent building in the shots.
I tried to get the texture on the water as well as the sky.
Shot on a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and probably processed by Samaung’s software to make it look good!
There is something good about our early morning walks with Alistair along the footpath along Exile Bay. The sun, the water and the clear skies make this a wonderful time and experience. 
Here is the sun arriving over Abbotsford with smooth water, the boats bobbing and the somewhere out there a rowing boat training and coach hurrying them on.
Later the sun lights up the sky and the ridges; colouring the water.
On the way home to a well deserved coffee and dried dog food. The Bushell’s factory is in the background – last of the industries along the waterfront in Concord.
I think we are lucky or blessed to be able to do this walk every day.
We all know this but it is nice to be able to report that I won the raffle for the door prize at the inaugural Small Business Book Club run by the City of Canada Bay and the Department of State and Regional Development.
The prize was a copy of Louise Woodbury’s book on the subject of taking time out from a business in order to recharge your batteries but also to refocus and restructure your business goals. She was very positive about the effects of this approach and the changed mindset that can result from the break.
We are lucky in Canada Bay that the Council is very positive towards small business and actively supports the development of small and micro businesses in their area largely because of the balance it brings to the suburbs, dragging them back from being simply dormitory suburbs.
Normally Jane wins all these things so I was happy to win a prize for once!
