Photo AlbumRunning 14 km to Bondi Beach with 70,000 people!Aug 14, '06 5:11 AM
for everyone
The Sydney Sun Herald City2Surf Fun Run! This year, I was one of the 70,000 people who made the run from Hyde Park to Bondi Beach. Two and a half hours babeh! I didn't know I could walk that far.

Me, Lucy, Ron, and Trish ran for clean energy!

It was one of the best experiences ever. And here are all the best pictures.

ANG SAYAAAA!!!

I'm living vicariously through you, what I'd give to run even half a kilometer without dying. :D

I didn't run, I power-walked ;-) I can only run for 5 minutes at most haha.

I did train a bit though.

The colors are so vibrant! :-) Do you mind telling me your camera's model? Thanks :-)
alabira wrote on Aug 15, '06
Sony T1! I tweaked the colors just a little bit in Photoshop of course. IT always helps.
wonkawonka wrote on Aug 15, '06
Oh ok. Thanks! :-) But when you use your DSLR, do you still tweak the pictures?
alabira wrote on Aug 16, '06

Often, yes. I think digital media and photoshop go hand in hand nowadays :-)

A few days ago, I heard some silly news from some radio station, Z100 to be precise, that in Australia, a group of guys stole a trampoline that were caught by the policemen because of the suspicious looking huge thing they were carrying around 1 am. The thieves were dressed as smurfs.
