The camera that Diongi has safely in his handlebar bag in this photo is similar (different manufacturer).

The photos were taken about forty minutes or fifteen kilometres apart (bottom first). The bank of cumulus clouds over the Coral Sea result from the warm water flowing south from the tropics. The lower isolated cloud above the shimmering water is probably the cloud in the upper photo.

Another dry ride today which took me past 3,000 miles for 2020, something that would never have happened this quickly without the lockdown! It was such a perfect day for cycling with light winds and a temp of 14C, it was just cycling perfection! ☺ I'm hoping for more of the same tomorrow, fingers crossed!

Yet another failed Chrysler business venture.

As Rab H would say a perfect day for biking, followed Scissors Creek to the Qu'appelle Valley and even a couple of spots that I used the "walk" function on the bike, maybe a younger version of me would have tried to keep the front end down while headed straight up in Turbo

You know if it looks steep on camera, its STEEP

Hey @RabH, only a Scot could say 14°C was perfect weather in July

Midwinter school holidays …

View from Moreton Bay Cycleway​

Children behaving appropriately: picking up sand, pebbles, shells… and chucking them into the sea.

 

[RandallS]

So that's Mid-winter in Queensland eh?
+21C - sigh, my mid winter is often -21C.

Heck, it's mid-summer and it's only +17C today.

Mind you, here in Western Canada (Alberta), every second bug or snake can't kill you...

Yet bears can!

Stefan, you win the contest of the first person to bring up bears!
I owe you a Żywiec or a Tyskie - hopefully someday I will be able to pay that debt.

Randall, my religion prevents me from drinking the International Pale Lager I might treat you with craft beer in Poland, and yes, it might be Lager.
(When I paid my single visit to Canada, Sunshine Coast in BC -- there actually a bear happened; it raided my hosts' larder. I can say a word or two of the Canadian bear!)
:-D
