This is Canberra, a view atop Mt. Ainslie, one of my two favourite places in Canberra:

and this is my second favourite place here, the Lake Burley Griffin

I saw nature becoming colourful, then barren and then slowly becoming colourful again:

Dying to be born again

The harbinger of Spring!

hey, look! Spring is here!
So how is Life here?
Depending on how you define the presence of life, you may love it or hate it. If you like to wander lonely as a cloud, it is quite perfect. If you want to mix and mingle, I think its quite OK too. Yes, it does sleep early. The shops close by 6.00 PM on weekdays, but I think its quite easy to adapt to these things.
Buzzwords I would use to describe Canberra
Peaceful and Beautiful.
I am looking forward to the next 365 days. Spring is almost here. Its a beautiful day, the outdoors beckon.
