Beautiful morning down on the Southern side of Dee Why, nature didn't offer much colour but happy with those clouds.
In the 1970s?
(Strobist info: single Canon 580EX II above-right of the camera, mounted on a light stand with Westcott 43" silver shoot-through umbrella, triggered by Cactus V2s wireless triggers. The whole setup was sitting next to a floor-to-ceiling mirror, off to camera-left, to get some of the light from the flash reflecting back in from the left side).

A scene in the backyard garden of my cousin Georgie. Dee Why, New South Wales, Australia (a northern suburb of Sydney).
I’m pictured here in my bedroom at Mum and Dad’s home in Dee Why on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, doing something that occupied much of my time in those days – painting and listening to music. It’s 1969 and I’m 19. My musical tastes were somewhat eclectic back then. I enjoyed both classical and popular music. Nowadays, it’s strictly only classical music for me. I’m wearing headphones so as not to inflict my musical tastes upon my parents. I am holding the recently completed portrait of a friend, Ian, from that time. I don’t know what’s become of the painting. Both it and Ian vanished from my life long ago. Hanging on the wall in the background can be seen various other examples of my artwork, including paintings of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and my copy of a portrait of the German Romantic painter, Philipp Otto Runge, who I considered to be most handsome; albeit in a tragic, consumptive kinda way.
The sign once read "Dogs prohibited at rock pool". Dee Why is one of Sydney's Northern Beaches. (My Ref 28)

Warringah Council, on Sydney's Northern Beaches, have spent time and money remembering the contribution made to Manly-Warringah by the former Manly Lines of Sydney's extenstive tramway system.
In their heyday Manly's trams ran from Manly Wharf to both The Spit and Narrabeen, the latter 16 miles from Sydneys GPO.
There were even plans to extend the line even further north to Mona Vale and and Pittwater but sadly this was not to be.
Sadly the Manly Lines closed on 1 October 1939.
