It’s the weekend and time to relax. The sun is shining and family and friends gather in groups to share food, fun and laughter. As the day draws to a close and the sun starts to set a silence settles over the crowds.
A young woman quietly strums her guitar. On the distant horizon the iconic outline of Surfers Paradise is bathed in a golden glow.
On my way home I pass Pelican Lake and notice this young man totally relaxed and meditating…I hope your weekend was this peaceful.

I can see why Jack wouldn’t want to leave. 🙂 🙂 Those sunsets are a treat! Saturday we were at an open air brass festival in Durham, so not exactly peaceful! Very high energy performances, and a great day out. More subdued on Sunday…
