A cloudy day at Bondi.

When the group chat decided to head to Sydney, I could not help myself to Bondi. We parted ways as I was buzzing with excitement on the way there in our Uber, but when we finally reached, it's not the glorious, light-struck paradise I had hoped.

A hole eventually opened in the clouds and the last of the sunlight fell straight through it.
