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.

Montana Conservation Corps (MCC) crews, made up of high school and college students from the Wind River Indian Reservation, recently helped Chicago Botanic Garden interns collect seeds for the Seeds of Success program in the Lander Field Office area.
As part of the seed collecting project, MCC crews were given a brief overview of the BLM Seeds of Success and Native Plant Materials Development programs. They learned that the seeds they were collecting would be used for local restoration projects and that, because of local adaptation, these seeds have a higher chance of survival than seeds grown or collected in a different geographic region with different environmental conditions.
Target species included antelope bitterbrush, limestone hawksbeard, and desert yellow fleabane—native plants that benefit wildlife, including greater sage-grouse, as well as native pollinators.
“Tribal youth from the Montana Conservation Corps collected approximately 30,000 seeds in two days, which is excellent considering the time-consuming nature of collecting from species such as antelope bitterbrush," said BLM Botanist Tanya Skurski.

Detail from a little pocket booklet of home remedies. I'll have to dig around to find the book to add the publishing details.
The image is from from one of those booklets you used to buy near the checkout counter--your horoscope for the year, cleaning tips, gardening ideas and other helpful things. They sold for less than a dollar and were stocked next to the TV Guide and National Enquirer!

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.
