Have you ever tried to look at the sun?

**Renee** · 1 October 2013, 11:40 pm

OK I will admit, I'm being a bit cheeky here..

I went to the beach at lunch time again today (it is only the 2nd day of the second month of spring and it is ranging between 25-35C every day) and I took a photo of the sun.

Here you go

Now you can look directly at the sun without special glasses or going blind

Just to rub it in again, I've gone to the beach the last 2 lunch times.

I am building up a pretty nice tan now

Is that a real photo? The sun does NOT look like that from new york! lol

Nice pic - Im jealous. It is getting cold over here in the states. I hate the cold! The only good thing is more work gets done in the fall/winter.

Every time I try to stare down the sun, it stares me down and wins.

I walked outside in the Australian Sun today.. I went from caramel to brown in 10 mins.
I'm getting a sweet sweet tan.

You guys from Australia are lucky. I have a friend that goes there on business every quarter and he says it is beautiful there. Is it like the weather in Florida? Too hot in the summer but great in the winter?

**rak** · 16 October 2013, 1:58 am

The weather here is so good.. that when its 18c / 65f - I think its too cold and start to complain.

In some places here it can get to 50C and over during summer. Where I am at least it probably gets to 40-45C. Nothing is too hot for me. I love it.
This winter the lowest it got was around 18C which is pretty unusual. It's usually around 12-14C during winter. It's going to be a hot summer that is for sure.

Our summer is just coming to an end. I cant wait to be honest, we are still enduring 30 degrees weather so now its time for a change. During peek months it can go up to 39- 40 degrees (in the shade) unless you are near the beach, you dont wanna be outside.

Our winters are not too bad, we are not equipped for cold weather so the lowest temp. go down to about 5 degrees (few days only) in the evenings and an average on 17-20 degrees during the day. The brilliance is that our winters last for a maximum of 4/5 months then its back to hot weather for the remaining of the year.

Regards,
Rebecca.

**edgarf76** · 16 October 2013, 4:49 pm

That is 65 F- 120F, thats pretty hot, so you guys/gals from Australia just had your winter and now are going into your summer?

**Renee** · 16 October 2013, 9:04 pm

Correct! It is spring here at the moment and today it is 34C

I go from white to pink to red to pink and then to white again. and every time that happens I get a new freckle...

My tan is cranking now. I'm almost as dark as Rak!

There is a bushfire in the west somewhere right now... sun isnt looking as bright as it was at lunchtime (yep, I went to the beach again).

It looks pretty messed up on the news with the fires in NSW. I can just smell fire here, still clear skies.
BTW.. the fire guy on the TV looks like beacon.
