Day 9 - Canberra

---

Today was my 'cultural' day, with a visit to the Edgar Degas exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia. Previously, Degas was just a French painter whose name I had heard somewhere, but it meant little to me except that it might be useful to know at a trivia night. Having seen the exhibition, I can appreciate why his work is so highly regarded. Some of the pieces were stunningly beautiful. (I also came away with more ammunition for the trivia night)
After Degas, I spent a couple of hours just wandering through the maze of the NGA galleries. I've now seen 'Blue Poles' up close and it makes no more sense to me now that before.

Hey Grey, Sounds like your having a wonderful time, i love the photos your not a bad photographer and quite a good detailed wrighter. Who knew! So now for lunch time quizes can we put you down for French painters expert? Have fun and keep safe, also butch said if stuff like your memory cards keep frying in the heat if they are in your plastic gear sack, buy a sun shade that you would normally put in your car to cover the dash etc and stick it to the outside of the gear sack because it will reflect the heat. Good Luck
