Storm Damage 16/12/2010

On the afternoon of 16/12/2010 a Severe storm warning was issued for the Sydney Metro. I thought this was a run of the mill storm including a little thunder, lightning and rain. I was wrong.

I was watching Twitter and Facebook and I was reading various report of rather decent sized hail coming down ranging from marble to golf ball size. Oh crap went through my mind. I passed the word on to several people to put cars away and bunker down.

When it hit, it hit hard. it was 15 minutes of solid hail down pour. If it was a week later we could of had a white Christmas. Here are some photos.

Catherine Hill Bay Sunrise

Catherine Hill Bay Sunrise Originally uploaded by Squeakaz This morning was an eventful one at by far the best location I have shot yet. It was all going well until 'SPLASH', bye bye camera. Thankfully the memory card survived but unfortunatly the camera not to good. Hitting a rock on the way down then completely submerging itself (tripod and all) for approx 5-10 secs. The things we do to get that one good shot!

New Neighbours

This last week has been really crappy for me. I seen and read some things that were well to say the least hurtful and not too nice at all. Today made me feel a little better, when we met our soon to be neighbours. For those who don't know we are currently building a new home. All the info can be found on my building blog http://www.squeakbuilds.blogspot.com We popped by this morning to check out the progress and we were lucky enough to meet our new neighbours. I don't think they will cause us much trouble and they even get along with our puppy. It is a relaxing feeling to be building in a semi rural area and have this sort of thing at our doorstep. So peaceful. Heres a pic of our new neighbours.
