This afternoon my wife and I went into the Adelaide CBD to shop at the Central Markets. Thankfully she let me take a walk into Victoria Square with my camera.

On The Port River
Photographed from the Dolphin Explorer on 15th March 2009. More added to my flickr gallery on an irregular basis as I shot a LOT of photographs that day.
