We used to do this thing called Walterdale Wednesday because of this bridge (The Walterdale Bridge) but I haven't done that for a very long time so I was planning on sharing these photos that I took last year at around this time and then coincidentally, last night the sky totally went off with some absolutely crazy colours (so much pink!). I did go out last night but I haven't had time to process those photos yet so stay tuned. .
