While Marnie was getting her hair done, I thought I'd try my hand at a little photojournalism. Parkhurst has a lot of lovely restaurants with outdoor seating intermixed with high end interior design, antique and food shops (thus my previous comparisons to Grandview in Columbus). As it was lunchime, there were quite a few people about, and I discovered that I'm not as bold behind a camera as is necessary. In addition, I took the long range lens for the camera, and was thus unable to take wide angle shots down 4th Street without standing in the middle of the road. Ah well, live and learn.
Quickly frightened off by my human subjects, I retreated to the relative safety of the nearby park and Pirates sports club. Sadly, this park, like many parks back home, has become a haven for the homeless, so I largely kept my camera to myself. Once back on the road side I was able to take a pic of the sports club, with the tower in Hillbrow looming ominously in the background. If you ever are in a position to look straight up at this structure, you are in the wrong place. Run!
