And a curve in the road:

Some very nice shots there Ash.

If you were still in town on Sunday you could join our meet-up

**Bob Harris** · 02-24-2011, 11:53 PM

Ash, wonderful view/photo from the observatory that I probably will never see in person. Thanks for sharing your photography with us. Bob

**Ash** · 02-25-2011, 03:45 AM

Thanks guys.
I'll look out for you all Peter.
Bob, I wish I had more time around dawn and dusk to get more dramatic colours but perhaps our Sydney locals can do a better job.

the city beautifully captured. One day maybe I will get a chance to visit (hopefully in my winter your summer)

Thanks for sharing these Ash. Love looking at photos of places I long to see. These have a really nice feel to them.

Aon · 02-25-2011, 08:51 AM

Nice shots, all of them. The clouds in the observatory shot are just awesome.

daacon · 02-25-2011, 08:57 AM

Nice series Ash I love #2 - your area is on the bucket list for sure.

I hate to be rude, but just wanted you to know, that you people put your moon on upside down there. Maybe city hall can have that fixed

Thanks Ash!

The observatory view is nice. What is bog smoke, and why would you go there?

**Ash** · 02-25-2011, 01:33 PM

Thank you all. Sydney is certainly worth the visit. Bog smoke? I believe I just made the term up.

Supposed to say *big* smoke. Guess it could be a contraction of 'boggy' smoke referred to as smog, and I hate the stuff. Gets in the way of a perfectly good landscape shot.

Bob, we're geographically challenged here in Aus, and hence the name 'down under'
