Early to bed, and very early to rise

 

Has Wing and I heading to Cottesloe Beach for the 2016 Sculptures by the Sea. They have some really great pieces. But with some of them, their placement left much to be desired. Trees, fences, rubbish bins too close for a clean view, or photo. Used Canon 5D3, Tamron 24-70, and my Canon 8-15mm Fisheye lens.

Another small sign of improvement

Last night, Wing and I went to Cottesloe Beach, to photograph the "Sculptures by the Sea".

The first year, we went, it was hellish for me. Bad back, weak leg, walking on shifting sand. I had to sit down every 10 minutes or so walking because it just hurt so much. Took us close to 4 hours to do the entire loop.  And I was lamed up for about a week.

2nd year. Still caused pain, gave my left leg a lot of grief, and I still had to take breaks but after every 20 minutes or so. Took over 3 hours. Hurting unit for about 5 days.

3rd year, pretty much repeat of 2nd year, but walking break every 30 minutes, lame for about 3 days.

This year, I went from one end of the beach art, to the other end. Took about 2 hours. BUT, the only time I sat down was when I was waiting for Wing to finish taking his 10th shot of the same piece of art work.  A bit stiff today, but once I was up and around, I was fine, and started doing laundry, vacuuming rugs and planning dinner.
