Queen Victoria
Awake at Dawn
Tonight we were woken by a monster storm about 3am. The howling gale prevented us from going back to sleep again, which was just as well because at 6:30am, while we were dozing lazily hoping to be able to get to sleep at some point, the brand-new Queen Victoria cruise ship announced its arrival in Sydney with huge sirens, just to make sure that everybody was awake. So we brought out the long lens and managed to get this very excellent shot.
Since we had the SLR out anyway I took this shot of the CBD at dawn as well. Then we went back to sleep.
This was taken at dusk. The birds get very active in the early afternoon, making one hell of a racket. They look cute though.
