pours and delays

Hello Sydney-ians! I'm sure anyone travelling around on public transport today without an umbrella was sorely at risk of the looming clouds and all. Certainly, I was. I didn't bring an umbrella. Genius, I know.

It's the holidays now, so it's not like I'm travelling my common daily route of Parramatta to Central. Instead, I have a winter holiday course of Mind and Morality at the University of Sydney which is pretty awesome. But I'm not here to tell you that. My current new route is Parramatta to Redfern. Return of course.

That's still not very important, but I had a troublesome day today, getting around in the rain.

Mostly the afternoon.

Horizon and I were at Martin Place, having come back from not-conquering the intimidating NSW State Library. I caught her train, with the intention of returning to Redfern and changing trains from there. Of course, bad things had to happen to counter awesomeness, and I found that several lines had closed for some irritating reason, including the North Shore, which meant I had to catch the Epping train. Eurgh.

That meant I was in for some Strathfield switching.

At Strathfield, I had to wait for 11 minutes for the Emu Plains train. I took this photo when the train arrived:

Don't worry it's just graffiti, not rain.
I like the comparison between Morning Parramatta and Afternoon Parramatta though.

Ah...well it was an interesting day I suppose.

That's all. I just really seem to like taking photos of the train system when it's raining. It looks much nicer than it usually would.
