Harbour Jam
Is the Pilot lost?
From time to time an unusual maritime-related sight greets us when looking over the harbour. Such as this one. On the assumption that the containership isn't meant to be off Cremorne Point I can only guess that the pilot is lost (or possibly he ran the ship aground?). The ship hasn't moved since I first noticed it, and the Mosman and Taronga Zoo ferries can be seen scuttling around to avoid it. Hint: Sydney Heads, and the open ocean, is towards the East. Or, if you're inbound, the Commercial Docks are further West, beyond the Harbour Bridge.
While I'm blogging, here are some more photographs I thought worthy of public display. This is a very realistic statue of a horse with her foal in the Botanical Gardens.
For those familiar with World of Warcraft, the crown of this tree, devoid of leaves, looks just like Razorthorn Trail. Now we know where the blueprint came from ;-)
