After a week of hot weather a mild cool change came through the Fleurieu Peninsula late in the afternoon of New Years eve. It was such a relief. So we went to the beach:

We just hung out on the beach watching the world go and thankful for the cloud cover:

We talked about the different cultures of the different beaches in the sense of people relating to one another differently: some beaches are friendly and easy, others are tense and are marked by the kind of simmering cultural war, that continues to be defended by David Burchell here. The poodles signify inner city middle class café-society elitism for the outer suburban asspirationals.

I too enjoyed the relative coolness of the southern beaches. On New Year's day, we left McLaren Vale where it was 38 and spent the day on the beach at Horseshoe Bay where it was no more than 25. Beautiful!!!!
Going for walks and reading interviews with Gary Snyder, Lew Welch and other Beats.
