Track Notes

I looooooove night walking. Here was a little ditty to finish Tuesday. Up the concrete path, clockwise round the ‘hat band’ track, up to the top and back down. A mild evening (once we were walking), beautiful views and lights. A compact point-and-shoot camera in the hands of a snapper does not do it justice.

Thanks David and Bev.
