Many days when there have been wonderful cloud formations all around, I've been tempted to drive to the hockey centre to take photos from up in the stands. Today the clouds were obliging, even if the wind and temperature were not.
Darkening clouds over the grounds before the game.
Synthetic grass must be watered before matches and sometimes again at half-time.
If only they would bring rain.

Cloud formations are so fascinating and once again you've gotten some great pictures. Everytime I look up at the sky now I think of you and want to take pictures! lol Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI just cannot get over how gloriously green that field is. I love that mentioned the words "Grand Final" as my rugby team made it into the g final and I am just so very excited.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day my sweet. Much love, Nicole xox.
very nice pictures...too bad it did not rain??
ReplyDelete:-D
Like Pea, I think of you whenever I look up at the clouds, or see the sunset. I went to get my camera just this evening because I saw some lovely cloud formations, with just a soft touch of color.
ReplyDeleteAs we were driving home from church today, our clouds actually looked a lot like yours do in the 3rd picture. They were wonderful. Naturally we thought of you Alice :)
I too wish those clouds would bring you rain! I'd dearly love to send some of ours your way!!! We ended up with a lovely sunny afternoon, after a dreary start to the day.
I love the colors in that last picture.
Alice,
ReplyDeleteWhy????? Why do they water them??
Wendy - the main reason for watering the synthetic pitches is that players can receive bad burns if they fall on dry 'grass'. I think there may also be problems of slipping, and the grass disintergrating. However, it's only during matches that it needs to be wet; it can survive the hottest of summers without water if it's not being used.
ReplyDeleteHi Alice, you certainly have shared some wonderful photos in the last week. Once again, Canberra is so beautiful. I must go back and visit it again. I loved Cockington Green when I visited it years ago.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Meow
Alice,
ReplyDeleteYou take the most amazing pictures of the sky! I've enjoyed each one!
I am so jealous.....I took my new camera and took a picture of the clouds from my back yard....and yuck, nothing like yours....of course I'm in Toledo and your in Australia, could that make a difference.....?
ReplyDeleteKeep snapping those pictures.....love them.....
All those lovely dark rain clouds...you would think it's about to start raining.
ReplyDeleteBy synthetic grass you didn't mean artificial turf, did you? Is synthetic grass man made or created? Or is it really grass?
Go the Bronco's,
ReplyDeletelol
