Summer Magpies

Summer has hit, the magpies are out, and I love how the chick in these photos, the first one, is looking straight down the camera at me...

After a long hiatus, and a couple of technical issues with my provider, I am back online after my hosting had been left on an old server and forgotten about. How I found out about it was, an influx with SPAM, and a decline of actual emails! But, over the past 48 hours, not a single email had come through... But, it appears to have been fixed, finally...

Hoo roo for now...

Driving....

Ok, so today was a long day... 516.4km driven!!!

Up and out early, off to Katoomba, then sever stops along the way but ended up at Bathurst! After lunch, headed up to Mount Panorama race track for a quick lap, or four, around the 6klm track... 

Much to see and many photos taken!

Cruising & City

So I skipped a day, but continuing with 'C'...

I have some friends from brisbane staying with me at the moment. They left just before Christmas on the Celebrity Solstice on a 12 night cruise over the Christmas/New Year period. I did photograph their departure, but the other morning, the 3am alarm went off as I was heading in to shoot the cruise liner coming into Sydney Harbour.

There was some stunning light about and I took a pic of the Sydney Skyline with the Opera House in it (the Harbour Bridge was to far to the right from this location really... haha)

Anyway, the MS Noordam (Holland America Line) entered through the heads first, and was lucky enough to sail past in this light...


This light didn't last that long though, when the Celebrity Solstice (Celebrity Cruises) sailed through...

It was a nice morning to have been out on the harbour...

Hoo roo for now...
