On account of my knackered body and peeling face from Sunburn Sunday, the furthest I ventured away from home yesterday was 10 minutes’ walk to the beach to see if I could get some shots of the fireworks. I did make a separate trip to Vincent Sushi for a roll and miso soup, but it’s a couple of minutes closer than the beach.

Once I arrived at the beach with equipment in tow, I discovered that not only did I forget the mounting plate for Garry’s tripod at home, but also my spare batteries… GRRR! I got only a few shots before the batteries depleted for good, this being one of them.

Thankfully this mostly fruitless trip was a short one, with perfect weather and a pleasant lake shore ambience beside the Palais Royale.
