Summer sun reaches the Southern hemisphere:

It’s a chilly afternoon up here in New York but it’s already the weekend down at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia! One of the city’s most popular destinations, the beach gets its name from the Aboriginal word “Bondi” that means waves breaking over rocks. Tag someone you’ll be seeing this weekend and have a great one, no matter where you are! Source imagery: Sinclair Knight Merz

The popular beach is home to Bondi Rescue, an Australian reality show chronicling the day-to-day activities of the local lifeguards. For more photos of Australia in summer bloom, check out this slideshow by Alan Taylor.
