I'm just back from a very pleasant visit to the little town of Kiama. This is the boat harbour there. Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a good weekend to follow.

A quiet corner of Sydney Harbour and the ANZAC Bridge, complete with a background statement. :-) Looks best viewed large. Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a good weekend to follow.

Sunset above the Clyde River in southern New South Wales, with Venus shining brightly. Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a great weekend to follow.

After a day's driving, it was pleasant to take a stroll with the camera. Happy Fence Friday and have a great weekend, everyone.

A bench alongside the beach in Wollongong harbour. HBM and have a good week, everyone.

This very new marina in its new artificial harbour, has just been dug out of the land at Shellharbour and connected by a channel dug to the ocean to fill it. As can be seen in the background (and PiP) new buildings are now being erected around it. Wishing everyone a Happy Bench Monday and a good new week.

Catamaran yachts out on Sydney Harbour, the Anzac Bridge in the background.

Needs to be viewed large on black. Showing the port area of Hobart viewed from the hotel room, at sunrise on the day of my departure from Hobart. A stitched panorama.

A sunny autumn day at the side of the harbour in Wollongong - even a swimmer going by near the buoy and someone sitting on a bench. The 'old' lighthouse at left, the 'new' one at right. Happy Bench Monday, everyone.

Game fishing boats awaiting hire in the boat harbour at Bermagui on the NSW south coast. Bermagui has been very popular for deep water offshore game fishing for many years. I'm afraid my hoped-for tour to capture more silo art has had to be deferred. The first major stop on my trip was to visit family in Melbourne, but there I became a covid contact - and it seemed prudent to defer the silo art trip until later. (I've since tested clear of covid). Happy Fence (Fishing) Friday, have a great weekend everyone.

In dry dock on a wet day. :-) Better viewed large. Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Batemans Bay, from near the town centre, looking past some outdoor restaurant seating. I'll be away for a few days, so I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy Fence Friday and a safe and enjoyable weekend.

The small and crowded harbour at Ulladulla.

Upstream on the Mekong River from Luang Prabang are the Pak Ou caves. They're now a tourist destination, but for aeons they have been a revered Buddhist shrine where people have left statues of the Buddha, some now exceedingly old. (See the PiPs.) Best viewed large. Click here for a view from the caves. HFF everyone, stay safe and have a great weekend. Explored.

Boats on the Mekong River, Laos, upstream from Luang Prabang.

A friendly wave from the passenger on this boat as we passed on the Mekong. As everywhere, there is quite a diversity in the boats on the river - see PiPs.

Best viewed large. From what I could see, most fishing on the Mekong River in Laos is done with fixed fish traps. Four are anchored to the bank here, the PiP shows others on the bank awaiting use. Essentially, the fish swims into the tapering funnel and is unable to reverse out, with the gate somehow closing behind. Thanks to Tacheles for suggesting this musical link.

The bushfires earlier this year came very close to this point, but were stopped just in time. The distant headland is National Park. Explored.
