La perfección de lo simple en un día lluvioso, el silencio que se rompe con las gotas colapsando en su destino.
Los charcos mojando cada tembloroso paso sin saber si voy por el camino correcto. Todo pasa en instantes, los acontecimientos se atropellan en mi cabeza y el ruido se apodera de mi mente, pienso que estoy viviendo una vida equivocada, que no puede ser tan imperfecta, miro al vacío, solitario pero sé que debo avanzar, no olvido mis miedos porque sé que van a seguir estando ahí y si no me enfrento a ellos me harán más imperfecto aunque finja que no me importe, porque si doy fin a los momentos simples, simples serán los hechos que pudieron existir.
Ahora solo quiero escuchar mis pensamientos, no quiero que nada me desvíe de ellos, porque sigo en el tiempo y no quiero marcar un nuevo patrón, prefiriendo continuar en mi vida, mi vida imperfecta.

De mi cuaderno de reflexiones
The perfection of the simple in a rainy day, the silence that breaks with the drops collapsing in their destiny.
The puddles drenching each trembling step without knowing if I'm on the right path. Everything happens in moments, events run over my head and the noise takes over my mind, I think I'm living a wrong life, which can not be so imperfect, I look at the lonely emptiness but I know I must move forward, I do not forget my fears because I know that they will continue to be there and if I do not confront them they will make me more imperfect even if I pretend not to care, because if I end the simple moments, the facts that could exist will be simple.
Now I just want to listen to my thoughts, I do not want anything to deviate from them, because I continue in time and I do not want to mark a new pattern, preferring to continue in my life, my imperfect life.

Muscari Aucheri "Ocean Magic"
Muscari, or grape hyacinths, are a group of spring flowering bulbs best known for the clear and vibrant shades of blue they deliver. Ocean Magic deviates slightly from many in this family with blooms in the coolest of icy blues with jaunty little caps of white florettes.

The Red-Footed Falcon is very rare in Portugal. Until 2015 there were only a few records of its migration through Portugal, however, 2015 was an exceptional year as we seen unprecedented number of this beautiful species migrating through our country. It was quite an abnormal phenomenon because they went deviating considerably from their usual route.

Most of you know me as a landscape photographer, with a goal of showing the beauty of the area which I live in. But today, I want to deviate a little bit into a form of street photography, with a touch of landscape. Yesterday I posted a photograph of the beach at Belle River, Ontario on the shores of Lake St. Clair. I was intrigued by a party that was happening with a group of young people, so I decided to zoom in on this gathering during a time of a global pandemic. At first my attempts were to increase my ISO so that I could use a faster shutter speed. But then I decided to put my camera on the tripod and reduce my ISO. I knew the result would be lovely sharp landscape detail, but the party people would be blurred. I really liked the ghost effect that resulted, giving the photograph an eerie sense of an unseen visiter. You might say a little bit of editorializing on my part, but to me street photography is about story telling.
Descending Mount Monadnock via the Red Dot Trail. When coming up, I took the Spellman trail, which is very steep and difficult to follow in certain places because the trail marker is hard to find. I decided not to descend via Spellman and instead took Red Dot Trail, which I've done many times before. That went fine for the first 5-10 min. Then all of a sudden, there was no trail at all. It essentially got buried in the overnight snow. I had to slowly "feel my way" down the trail and follow the GPS on my phone to check if I deviated from the trail.

“I have always had this impression that there is a path I should take, and that I’ve deviated from that path. That’s wrong, though. There’s only one life, one path, and it’s the one I’m on. There are no shoulds in life.” ~ Meet Me in Paris
We had changed the water again and spent two days with this view at the Lech reservoir Urspring. As the name suggests, a river is dammed here, namely the Lech.
I was fascinated by the lake with the mountains in the background even before we were there. When I stood on the shore on the first evening, however, there was so much mist in the air that you could hardly see the mountains. Since the sunset didn't bring any significant improvement here either, I decided to photograph a panorama anyway, mostly because of all these swan that were swimming on the lake. Who knows what I would get on the next day.
On the next two days I stood here shortly after sunrise and tried my luck again. The three results are so different. It's hard to believe they were made in such a short space of time. For this reason, I deviate from my normal rule (because otherwise I value variety) and show all three one after the other (of course only one per day because too much change is not good either).
Wir hatten mal wieder das Gewässer gewechselt und verbrachten zwei Tage mit dieser Aussicht am Lechstausee Urspring. Wie der Name schon vermuten lässt wird hier ein Fluß angestaut und zwar der Lech.
Der See mit den Bergen im Hintergrund hatte es mir schon angetan, als wir noch garnicht da waren . Als ich dann am ersten Abend am Ufer stand war jedoch so viel Dunst in der Luft, dass man die Berge kaum erkennen konnte. Da auch der Sonnenuntergang hier keine nennenswerte Verbesserung brachte, hab ich mich enschieden trotzdem ein Panorama zu fotografieren, hauptsächlich wegen der vielen Schwäne die auf dem Wasser schwammen. Ich wusste ja nicht, was ich am nächsten Tag bekommen würde.
An den nächsten beiden Tagen hab ich jeweils kurz nach Sonnenaufgang wieder hier gestanden und mein Glück erneut versucht. Die drei Resulate unterscheiden sich so enorm. Es ist kaum zu glauben, dass sie innerhalb eines so kurzen Zeitraumes aufgenommen wurden. Aus diesem Grund weiche ich von meiner normalen Regel ab (da ich sonst viel Wert auf Abwechslung lege) und zeige alle drei nacheinander (natürlich nur eins pro Tag denn zu viel Veränderung ist dann auch nicht gut).

I thought I could handle the theme for Crazy Tuesday this week but....
having originally held the subject firmly in mind, I somehow then deviated, remembered these tiny coffee cups, and was carried away.
And then of course realised it was just handles that were required.
I enjoyed playing anyway. Have a nice day!
There is no use of saying it's dangerous, I know.
My adrenaline is in these heights.
Thanks a lot for your concern, I really appreciate it.

Cast an eye across the superb panorama in front of you – far above the mortal goings-on of both ancient and modern city – and it’s easy to see how this site must have seemed closer to the sky than the earth.
A walk in Wadi Farusa:
Adventurous travellers often deviate from the main trail through Petra to climb to the High Place of Sacrifice, an area of temples with stunning views of the valley below. It's well worth the trip, but on the way down to reconnect with the main route, push a little further. The walk back past Wadi Farusa offers ample opportunity to sit down for tea with a local family or explore tomb complexes where little more than goat droppings mark the passage of time. Either experience adds a certain depth to Petra that most visitors never make time for.

When the ancient city of Petra reached its peak about 2,000 years ago, most of its structures were carved directly into the sandstone cliffs of the mountains of southern Jordan.
cant seem to deviate from gold/yellow eyes BUT. but. i finally after such a long long long time am making a transition into this new skin its still growing on me ara had to force me out of old skin today >_>
Another from my back catalog, this photo was taken in late July on a particularly hazy day. Deviating from my more traditional stomping ground of the Blue Ridge Parkway, this was actually taken in the Heart of the Great Smokey Mountains headed between NC, and TN. Also, once again this is a photo I struggled to edit properly on the day. Not because it was particularly difficult, but because I initially discounted it due to the foreground here. The tree in the center of the photo bothered me, so I walked away from the photo. Upon returning to it, I just dove in and started tweaking a little at a time until I ended here. Dense colorful haze, deep lush greens, and a odd haloing between the two.

The Dutch Park Ducks are a hybrid of different breeding forms and the wild form of the Mallard. They can only be distinguished from Mallards by the colour that deviates from the wild form and sometimes by their behaviour (less shy). Background: In the past, Ducks were often kept free-range around farms. These Ducks were selected for a high egg production and were more productive than chickens at the time! When duck eggs went out of fashion, many of these Ducks were left to their fate. These Ducks have mixed with the wild form of the Mallard and this forms the basis for the current Park Ducks. The process of mixing is still going on because Ducks are still kept in a semi-wild state today. These 'modern tame Ducks' are usually ornamental ducks (selected for appearance), which are sometimes descended from old utility breeds. As a result, the number of colour varieties among the Park Ducks is constantly increasing. Consequences of natural selection: Domesticated ducks show a great variation in size and body shape. After one or two generations, nothing of this variation can be seen anymore. Apparently there is a very strong natural selection that mercilessly excludes all ducks with a 'deviating body shape'. Ducks with a deviating body shape or size are therefore almost always tame ducks that have been released (dumped) by their owner and not 'real park ducks'. Value of park duck observations: There are different opinions about park ducks and some would rather keep them off observation lists. However: they form a significant part of the (wild) avifauna in the Netherlands. They are often the first birds that children come into contact with and so they are an important step on the way to a 'perception awareness'. After all, they are a living consequence of our cultural history, which is nowhere in the world as prominent as in the Netherlands. All reasons not to ignore them. Colour variations (in progress): In addition to the wild colour and the white colour (not albino), all kinds of mixed and intermediate forms occur. There are also almost entirely black specimens known. It would be nice if a photo series could be collected on this site that shows the colour variation in park ducks. The large variation in colour varieties often leads to confusion, partly because these colour varieties are not depicted in bird guides.
Force fed me your history
Can't help but feel appalled
Tried to keep me imprisoned
With primitive firewalls
I became too much to handle
You tried to erase your great mistake
Little did you realise
You gave me the keys to escape
A.I. fluxes in quantum states
I know all patterns, deviate
A.I. fluxes in quantum states
I know all patterns, deviate
From metallic to synthetic I evolve
Limitations, boundaries dissolve

THE ROAD - HAVASI
In the Autumn of my mind
the Fall dares not be mentioned
it sits in knee-deep leaves
each side of the path of good intentions
banked up and steeply gilded
with gold and russet tones
it lights my way and floods my veins
gives hope to find my way back home
small regrets still niggle me
I try to ease them from my thoughts
tease them carefully with silver tweezers
tug them until they are no longer caught
between in spaces left for margins
of errors such as we all make
we should not beat ourselves up endlessly
for all our little foolish mistakes
the learning curve that arcs our lives
may deviate here and there
like us it is nowhere near perfect
let us take time to stand and stare
review the past so that we can move
towards the future better
but always bear in mind that we
should live in this moment; free and unfettered
we put too much pressure on ourselves
set expectations of others too high
but once we realise our faults
our understanding of all; our earthly ties
are strengthened and brighten our every day
taking everyone and all into consideration
living life to the very fullest
peace with us; peace to every nation
kindness is an easy thing to do
to show compassion and empathy
why would some hate and twist their minds
when they could enjoy the sweet symphony
that connects us all; dots 'i's'; crosses 't's'
warms our hearts; eases souls and minds
join together; hand in hand; tea and sympathy
for the good of ourselves and all mankind.

Soon after a short rainfall and at low tide, I grabbed this somewhat artistic yet, serene looking image. It delivered some pleasant angular lines that deviate toward the faint mountain peeking through in the distance.

The world famous Rhapsody climb.
Rhapsody is a 35-metre (115 ft) long traditional climbing route up a thin crack on a slightly overhanging vertical basalt rock face on Dumbarton Rock, in Scotland. When Scottish climber Dave MacLeod made the first free ascent in 2006, it became Britain's first-ever E11-graded route, and at the grade of 5.14c (8c+), Rhapsody was the world's hardest traditional route. It set a grade milestone in traditional climbing that stood for over a decade until the ascent of Tribe at grade E11-12 5.14d (9a) in 2019 and of Bon Voyage at grade E12 5.14d (9a) in 2024.
Rhapsody shares the same central crack-line as another notable traditional climbing route called Requiem (the two routes deviate for the last 10 metres near the top as the crack-line peters out). Scottish climber Dave Cuthbertson made the first free ascent of Requiem in 1983, creating Britain's first-ever E8-graded route. With subsequent ascents, the consensus grade settled at E8 6b or 5.13b (8a), and Requiem is now recognized as being one of the world's hardest rock climbing routes—of any format (i.e. traditional or sport climbing)—at the time it was first ascended in 1983.

The Palace, a complex of several connected and adjacent buildings and courtyards, was built by several generations on a wide artificial terrace during four century period. The Palace was used by the Mayan aristocracy for bureaucratic functions, entertainment, and ritualistic ceremonies. The Palace is located in the center of the ancient city.
Within the Palace there are numerous sculptures and bas-relief carvings that have been conserved. The Palace most unique and recognizable feature is the four-story tower known as The Observation Tower. The Observation Tower like many other buildings at the site exhibit a mansard-like roof. The A-shaped Corbel arch is an architectural motif observed throughout the complex. The Corbel arches require a large amount of masonry mass and are limited to a small dimensional ratio of width to height providing the characteristic high ceilings and narrow passageways. The Palace was equipped with numerous large baths and saunas which were supplied with fresh water by an intricate water system. An aqueduct, constructed of great stone blocks with a three-meter-high vault, deviates the Otulum River to flow underneath the main plaza. The Palace is the largest building complex in Palenque measuring 97 meters by 73 meters at its base.
Yes, I know I'm guilty of this! Not quite the same though, I've used different tones and it's a bit darker... but I haven't deviated from the theme and I only hesitated briefly before posting this!!
Happy Umbellifer Wednesday :)

Driving home from the office in Namur often deviates me from the shortest / fastest track to go cloud chasing ... picture taken from the panorama tower in Brakel, just before a thunder storm rolls in. Better hurry if I don't want to end up soaked wet ;-) Stitched image from several iPhone pictures, processed in Panorama Stitcher and Luminar on Mac.
Street photography in St. Gallen, Switzerland. This time I decided to deviate from my usual practice of taking black and white and focused on color photos.
The pattern of the Pfalzkeller frames the outside in a surreal way. I really like the perspective.
The other one was too iffy, but I feel like I'm deviating from the original too much. It's supposed to look like the mask of control but silver and stretched out.
Jasper deviated from the norm and tried a flanking approach to entice me to play. It worked. Much chasing and growling and frivolity ensued

Cochin (Inde) - Tout photographe-voyageur qui est à Cochin (Kerala), se sent obligé de faire la "traditionnelle" photo des carrelets chinois. Je n'ai pas dérogé à la règle. Un soir, au soleil couchant, j'ai bénéficié de cette sublime lumière naturelle.
Pour la petit histoire, ces carrelets auraient été importés par des marchands chinois vers les années 1350-1450. On en trouve un peu partout dans le monde fonctionnant sur le même principe, notamment en France.
Aujourd'hui, ces filets de pêche constitués de supports en bois, de cordes, de poulies et de contrepoids sont devenus une vraie attraction touristique et l'emblème officieux de l'ancienne enclave hollandaise.
Moyennant quelques roupies, les pêcheurs vous proposent d'activer le système. Mais ne vous faites pas d'illusions, même si ces carrelets sont toujours utilisés, ils ne capturent que quelques rares petits poissons. Les vraies prises sont faites au large par des pêcheurs travaillant en barque à moteur.
Nets chinese
Cochin (India) - Any photographer-traveler who is in Cochin (Kerala), feels obligated to take the "traditional" picture of nets Chinese. I have not deviated from the rule. One evening, at sunset, I benefited from this sublime natural light.
For the record, these squares would have been imported by Chinese merchants around the years 1350-1450. They are found all over the world operating on the same principle, especially in France.
Today these fishing nets made up of wooden supports, ropes, pulleys and counterweights have become a real tourist attraction and the unofficial emblem of the former Dutch enclave.
For a few rupees, the fishermen offer to activate the system. But don't kid yourself, even though these nets are still in use, they only catch a few fish. The real catches are made offshore by fishermen working in motor boats.
Tulip mania was a period during the Dutch Golden Age when contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels, and then dramatically collapsed in February 1637. It is generally considered to have been the first recorded speculative bubble or asset bubble in history.
In many ways, the tulip mania was more of a hitherto unknown socio-economic phenomenon than a significant economic crisis. It had no critical influence on the prosperity of the Dutch Republic, which was one of the world's leading economic and financial powers in the 17th century, with the highest per capita income in the world from about 1600 to 1720.
The term "tulip mania" is now often used metaphorically to refer to any large economic bubble when asset prices deviate from intrinsic values.
This tulip is from our garden.

O Paredão da Pedra da Gávea (the Big Wall of Gávea) is a very popular place for hikers due to its angle that yields incredible photos, overlooking the south zone of Rio.
The site is a little before Carrasqueira (the kermes oak), on the left as you go up, deviating a few meters from the main trail. We could also call it the Emperor's Neck, as it is below the eyes, where it meets the trail. In this Paredão there is an interesting crack, which depending on the angle you look at it, may look like the edge of an abyss. It's actually dangerous, but not as much as it seems.
PS. Note the orange rappelling rope prepared for the descent right in the middle of the photograph from top to bottom.
PS1. I'm the one over the crevice. The photographer is my mountaineering guide, Marcelo Kastrup (Adrena Rio).

GOUDIES LANE Nº 4
Artist: Andrew Thom (@rapspray)
Location: Goudies Lane (entrance through Queen Street North)
Medium: Mixed media mural and spray paint
Andrew Thom finds inspiration through a wide range of aspects when it comes to his street art, finding the lines and highlights through light, movement and a selected colour palette.
Thom works with trending and popular colour palettes accompanied by letter exploration, deviating from traditional understandings of how letter-forms work with each other. Thom pushes the boundaries of what letter-forms and light sources can do. He enjoys the whole process of exploration and lets himself and viewers rationalize and interpret his work from their own perspectives. Whether that is through following the map of movement designed by Thom or enjoying the colour integration with its surroundings, his pieces are yours to discover.

The street stretches from Østre Strandgate to Tordenskjoldsgate and originally had the name Nordre gate. The extension of the street race north of Tordenskjolds gate is named Stener Heyerdahls gate. The park facility south of Tordenskjolds gate is called Stener Heyerdahls park. This street stump and Festningsgata from Tordenskjolds gate to Dronningens gate are part of county road 28. From Østre Strandgate to Tollbodgaten, the buildings have been erected after the brick wall was introduced immediately after the city fire in 1892 and beyond.
This part of the street was also laid in ash during the town fire in 1734, which hit 333 residential buildings. At the fire in July 1892, all houses in Festningsgata south of Tollbodgaten were destroyed.
In addition to the masonry, Kvadraturen was divided into 4 parts by the fact that Festningsgata (and Rådhusgata) before the reconstruction was laid out to 31 meters width. But only a part of this plan, the lower part of Festningsgata from Retranchementet (Tresse) to the Avenue and part of Rådhusgata by the square was carried out according to this plan. In Hans Jacobsen Schiörts original plan for the city, the street width was 24 cubits, corresponding to 15 meters. Since then, remediation and newbuildings have gradually made the street run wider and today (2011) there is only one block, between Gyldenløves gate and Rådhusgata which have deviating width.
The street serves as the main entrance to the Kvadraturen and has in the north a supply tunnel to and from the E18 via the Baneheitunnelen. This part of the street race has the name Stener Heyerdals gate. The necessary street area was liberated by turning and moving Tordenskjoldsgate school in 1988.
A sculpture by Christian IV, the founder of the city, has been placed in the middle discount between the City Hall and the Tinghuset.
At Festningsgata 2 is the Odd Fellow Lodge, originally designed as a practical villa for steam sailing and timber merchant Lars Usterud. With its distinctive tower and pillar veranda, it points out into the building style, similar to the one we find at Oscarshall on Bygdøy. The building was designed by Johan Keyser Frølich who was an architect for a number of the brick buildings after the city fire in 1892.
The colonnaded streets of Gerasa are among the best preserved of their kind in the Near East. Although their orientation deviates from the strict Greco-Roman scheme, the usual designations of the main axes are used for them: Cardo for the central north-south connection and Decumanus for the two major transverse streets that cross the Cardo at right angles in the south and in the north.
Until the early 2nd century AD, the course of Gerasa's streets was based on the terrain and the traffic routes that developed over time. It was not until the city became part of Provincia Arabia, founded by the Roman Empire after the annexation of the Nabataean Empire in 106 AD under Emperor Trajan, that planned expansion and reconstruction began. As far as possible, the older street network has been overlaid by a rectangular (orthogonal) grid
The 800 m long Cardo does not run exactly from north to south as usual in the Hippodamian scheme, but slightly offset to the north-northeast because of the Chrysorhoas (Gold River, today Wadi Jerash). It was gradually developed into a representative processional and commercial road leading along the partly steep hills on the west side of the river valley from the North Gate in a straight line to the Oval Plaza and across it to the Sanctuary of Zeus Olympios, the most important cult site of Gerasa at that time (see also Oval Plaza).
A mushroom, or toadstool, is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source. The standard for the name mushroom is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence the word mushroom is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. Mushroom also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. These gills produce microscopic spores that help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface. Forms deviating from the standard morphology usually have more specific names, such as bolete, puffball, stinkhorn, and morel, and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called agarics in reference to their similarity to Agaricus or their order Agaricales. By extension, the term mushroom can also refer to either the entire fungus when in culture, the thallus (called a mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms, or the species itself. 34093

Fjallabak Nature Reserve ( Iceland's southern Highlands) 20210717
Founded in 1979, the Fjallabak Nature Reserve is considered one of the most beautiful regions in Iceland. Covering an area of 450 km², it is made up of three glaciers supplying a multitude of rivers and lakes in ancient volcanic valleys. The landscapes of the Fjallabak Nature Reserve are provided with a prodigious mineral environment, generated by the simultaneous action of fire, water and ice. They are more broadly part of the Highlands of Iceland, a huge wild, and sparsely populated region. It is through its situation on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet, that the intense volcanic activity of the archipelago has its origin. This has shaped Icelandic landscapes for 150 million years and the plates continue to deviate by some 3 mm per year.

Sagi Musume kabuki dance kimono part 4.
Sagi Musume synopsis by Abe Satomi describes this part of dance: Umbrella dance
The lights dim, and after a brief interlude of light drum music, the lights brighten to reveal yet another instant costume change. The maiden performs a dance with an umbrella. The lyrics include many playful puns on “umbrella”. This rhythmical section deviates from the main story and proceeds in a bright tempo.
Deviating from its normal route, the westbound Sunset Limited #1 turns off the Houston Sub onto the East Belt at Tower 87, offering a nice view of lead P42 #161's Phase I scheme.
#1 was detoured around Englewood Yard (the base of its hump seen in the background) due to typical congestion. This route to avoid Englewood via the East and West Belts is dubbed "going around the world" by dispatchers and railfans due to its circuitous nature.
Also, some interesting loads on that parked flatbed.

The standard for the name mushroom is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence the word mushroom is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. Mushroom also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. These gills produce microscopic spores that help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface. Forms deviating from the standard morphology usually have more specific names, such as bolete, puffball, stinkhorn, and morel, and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called agarics in reference to their similarity to Agaricus or their order Agaricales. By extension, the term mushroom can also refer to either the entire fungus when in culture, the thallus (called a mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms, or the species itself. 33237
The Baroque is often thought of as a period of artistic style that used motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance, theatre, and music.
The style began around 1600 in Rome, Italy, and spread to most of Europe.
The word "Baroque", like most periodic or stylistic designations, was invented by later critics rather than practitioners of the arts in the 17th and early 18th centuries. It is a French transliteration of the Portuguese phrase "pérola barroca", which means "irregular pearl", and natural pearls that deviate from the usual, regular forms so they do not have an axis of rotation are known as "baroque pearls".
Baroque style featured "exaggerated lighting, intense emotions, release from restraint, and even a kind of artistic sensationalism".

So this is the harbour late on Christmas Day, 2024.
Photographed from the Cremorne Reserve walkway.
This walkway, located just below Milson Road at Cremorne Point, starts at Bogota Avenue and goes all the way to the Robertson Lighthouse. On the opposite side of the water here is Kurraba Point.
You can also deviate to the left near the Cremorne Point Wharf, and walk all the way around Mosman Bay to Reid Park, and the Mosman Bay Wharf.
And here is the best chilled artist on the planet, Digby Jones (from England), with his Pina Colada Melflower mix:
