Drifting through life

....I was lucky enough to spend a few hours of my day with the lovely Kim, of Frog Ponds Rock fame. Kim had been in Adelaide for the Ceramics Trienale and had a day to spare, so I met her at her hotel and we wandered off to see a bit of Adelaide.

It's Sunday Selections time again! Time to post photos that have been hiding away in your computer files, photos that you may have completely forgotten about.

We start with a photo of one of the many hotels along North Terrace. This one is the Oaks Horizons Apartment Hotel. ...
