Goodnight from Sydney

Today is the last day of the, "That's a bloody good title competition" Tomorrow, the winner will be announced and 250 Blog Explosion credits will be on their way to the lucky winner.

Here's something to think about. How many times do we hear expressions with the word "luck" in it. As with so many things in life, "luck" often has little to do with a person's success. It is not easy to come up with a good blog title. You don't decide on name by sitting on your bottom waiting for it to happen. During the course of the competition I have come across so many where the title alone made me curious as to the content.My decision will not be based on any high-brow-intellectual criteria, the winner will be the title that most takes my fancy!

But before this post turns into an Oscars speech, today's candidate is -

Treading Lightly on Powdered Sugar

I took tonight's photo during my late afternoon walk. Even the trees seem to be celebrating the rescue of the two Australian miners, who for two weeks, have been trapped almost a kilometre underground, in Beaconsfield, Tasmania. Just before I returned to my office, local television went live to the local pub, where one of the rescued miners was already celebrating.

The whole of Australia is with them in spirit.

Wherever you may be - be safe!
