Day 120 - Sunset from a Kayak


Sunset from Somewhere - Melbourne

Since I was back in Melbourne, G-Dad took it upon himself to take me out to do some exciting photography. 

We were originally heading out to find some pelicans to take photos of with the sunset.  The only problem was that when we got to where there were 'always at least 1' pelican, there were none.  Luckily (!) G-Dad had his kayaks on his roof so we were able to kayak round to where some rich folks must feed them on their deck.

Here we found about 5 of them hanging out on the river front property, some right up by their sliding door!  I tried to take some photos, but by this time it was getting pretty dark and they were either blurry from the slight rocking of the kayak or the damn birds kept moving! 

We eventually got too close to the 'beach' and they took flight. Man, are they HUGE!! 

Since the sun, still had a little bit of light left in the sky I took a snap of the palm trees.  I'm glad I atleast got something! But this was actually a pretty cool afternoon.
