The botany of the Antarctic voyage of H.M. discovery ships Erebus and Terror in the Years 1839-1843.

An hour after I'd landed on the long haul back from LHR, here I am standing (jet-lagged) on the other side of the planet. It's June 23rd, 2 days after the shortest day of the year and it's a perfect early winter's day in Sydney. This is looking east from Brighton-le-Sands across the bay to the heads, with Botany docks on the left and the Caltex oil refinery at Kurnell on the right.
Kurnell, on the southern side of the heads, is of course where Capt James Cook and crew landed 29th April 1770. I'm no history buff but I think I'm right in saying the place wouldn't have looked quite like it does now.
On 29 April 1770, Botany Bay was the site of James Cook's first landing of HMS Endeavour to'discover' Australia

The Botany Bay Weevil was one of the first Australian insects to be described from material collected in 1770 by Joseph Banks, a naturalist who landed at Botany Bay with Captain Cook.
Old Botany is one of the prominent buildings on the historic original portion of the Michigan State University campus north of the Red Cedar River. It currently houses the Department of Economics.
From our collection of botanical photographs, illustrations, and paintings. We hope you will enjoy these images as much as we do.

An hour after I'd landed on the long haul back from LHR, here I am standing (jet-lagged) on the edge of Botany Bay the other side of the planet. It's June 23rd, 2 days after the shortest day of the year and it's a perfect early winter's day in Sydney. In the distance is Kurnell, and a Welcome Swallow obligingly flits past above foraging for insects.

More than two centuries ago this place was named Sting Ray Harbour by Captain James Cook who just landed here in New Holland and caught few sting rays after a Sunday fishing trip. Renamed to Botany Bay later it is now a place of the major port in Australia, Port Botany. A number of berths for container ships and bulk liquid carriers allow for handling of around 10 million tons of various imports and exports in a year. 10 mil. tonnes that’s about 256 Sydney Harbour Bridges exported. If you are still wondering why did I say New Holland, that was the name of the continent at the time. Common for 180 years it was changed to Australia in 1824.
For this picture I made a number of photographs from the tripod with different exposures and a hope that it might merge into a HDR. However, as there were many moving subjects (e.g. ship, water) it proved to be more rewarding to use the single RAW and tonemap it lightly. Numerous lights around the port created thick yellow tone on everything, so I have to reduce the color cast a bit and also enhance the contrast of some areas.
