Photos: Random + Botanical Gardens

So for those of you who like looking at photos (either for the subject of my photos or because I take the most awesomest photos ever), here are my favorite from my visit to the Adelaide Botanical Gardens earlier today.





















Funny story: there is a house under all that green!








A story I haven't written about is once concerning a night time visit to the roof tops of Adelaide. During the whole hot water fiasco, I climbed the ladder to the roof one afternoon while there were some men working on the hot water. I asked the man I met up there (I was still on the ladder, looking out through the hatch entrance while he was standing on the roof) about how much longer we could expect to be without hot water. He told me it would be back on that evening, but he was wrong. It didn't come back on until two days later.

But later that evening, when we were beginning to suspect that he was wrong, I decided that I might be able to find out for myself. When I had asked the man, he showed me the exhaust of the heaters and felt for the exhaust to prove to me that they were running. They seemed to be running then, but they werent around 11pm when I checked for myself. They had left the latch unlocked, so like the responsible adolescent male I am, I climbed up and was soon followed by Ryan and Earnest. We got some fun photos, then retired back to the apartment to finish our assignment due the next day.

  1. Nils, if those rose close-ups were taken with a hand-held camera (i.e. not tripod), I hate you! (But then you'll get old some day too.)
