Photo a Day Challenge - Day 121 Skyline(s)

I've been lucky enough to see a few skylines in my travels, yet nothing seems to surpass that of Sydney's. And this is not just that its my home city either, its the type of construction, its textures, and of course, surrounded by the magnificant harbour... The only one that comes close, is that of Hong Kong, especially when viewed from atop of Victoria Peak...

Photo a Day Challenge - Day 120 Peace

Recently, an organised airside tour gave us the opportunity of photographing 'up close and personal' to the active runway in Sydney... Here, a QF Boeing 767-300 is taxiing past where we were located, and he gave us the 'PEACE' sign - cool hey!

Photo a Day Challenge - Day 118 Circle

London, 2010... it may not be in 'full frame', but I had a very limited opportunity to get this shot! So I worked with what I had at the time, and I am pretty happy with the result! The idea of getting a 'silhouette' style photography appeals to me...

I honestly have nothing to do for this one, how bad am I?? But now, thinking about it, it will be at least 1pm SOMEWHERE, right?? But what I will do, is post a random photo, but if you look closely at the post time, guess what, its 1pm!!!

Photo a Day Challenge - Day 116 Somewhere you went

The other night, we went out on the town to do some night photography. We shot across to Circular Quay, the Harbout Bridge and the Opera House, all the 'usual suspect'... BUT, this is one of Luna Park, but from a slight closer, and more unusual angle...

Photo a Day Challenge - Day 114 Looking Down

ANZAC Day

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

Here is the view looking downs across the Great Pyramids of Egypt... I was in total AWE visiting these, and it is something I will always remember...

Photo a Day Challenge - Day 112 Vegetable

We were on the cruise leg of my trip to Angers France for the Turf Conference in 2010, and one of the meals we had onboard, we were served Vegetable Samosa's with a mango chutney as an Entree... Now, I was worried about this, but when I tasted it, it was actually very nice, curry spiced inspired, but nice all the same...
