6 or 7 days per week I do an hour plus of exercise. Sometimes on the running track (less often in summer for obvious reasons), sometimes on the football pitch, recently at the gym since I'm doing a lot more weight work and can do it in air conditioning.

But today I was due for my quarterly checkup with my podiatrist. If you don't see a podiatrist regularly, I do so very much recommend it. If tennis players need to do it (in my Wimbledon gallery there will be a shot of the podiatrist office just near the courts), then so do you and your feet feel wonderful afterwards. Well, as good as mine can when one of them is still recovering from a blister (which also led to the change from aerobic to weight work) causing my podiatrist's eyes to bulge and exclaim "Oh wow, that skin... that must be painful!"

But when I go to see my podiatrist (in the morning before work) I of course never subject her to gym feet. Instead I therefore went out photo shooting which got me moving without getting too sweaty.

The weather had turned from incandescently sunny and scorchingly hot earlier in the week to grey and overcast and rainy, but still quite warm (which means humid). The seas were choppy, but far from mountainous. But on the Thursday at least some sunlight did make its way through the clouds in the hour or so after sunrise. In this case, it lit up part of the thinner segment of the cloudbank. (Sunrise had been at 05:54, about half an hour earlier.)

I took many shots that day, but I think this was my favourite. I liked the, for want of a better term, symmetrical asymmetry to it. There are two swimmers in the left pool, two in the right but the latter two are clinging to the rails ahead of a wave breaking. There is a wave on the left too, but it is already breaking against the pool wall. And, of course, it is all anchored by the woman who is walking straight down the centre of the walkway leading away from us.

Austi Rock Pool often delivers good photographic value.

The only annoying part about the morning was that the accursed OM app (gods how I hate the term "app") failed to track my GPS that morning. Thus on Friday I did a quick round of the places that I shot from today to gather the coordinates. I then copied them to today's shots, give or take a second of latitude or longitude.
