I always get that feeling of home when I fly into Sydney. Was on work trip to Brisbane today and had a window seat with a view of the Harbour on the approach back to Sydney. This isn't the best image as its an iphone shot out of the plane window, but thought I would share anyway as it is such a great view.

I decided to do a different photo (for me) for 21st Century Tuesday and focus on TRAFFIC. This was shot during non-rush hour on one of the few bridges that cross the Salt River. However, during high volume times, the bridge is bumper to bumper, increasing air pollution and energy consumption...both problems for the 21st Century world.

Sometimes during the rush of the holiday season it is difficult to remember if you are,' coming or going...' Sometimes I have to just stop... Put things in perspective...is she coming or going?

Eastern Phoebe headed for his favorite picnic table. I know this is grainy and all, but I still like it. Not every shot has to be perfect to be fun, does it?

Nothing I like more than gaining trust from shorebirds. I was lying down in mud for quite a while and away from the birds as I like doing. I let them come close instead of getting close to the subject. The Semi-palmated Plover in particular is very curious when you gain its trust and at times too close to the lens as this one did. I just love them.

an oh-so-rare cropped photo (the third cropped picture from my 5D).

but for good reason.

i think it adds to the confined area of the photo.

plus there was too much black on the top of the frame.

Not a lot different to my previous shot, but I managed to create a somewhat darker scene, more reminiscent of Gulf War burning Iraqi oilfields than Merseyside dawn

For a moment I thought I could hear a siren coming from Finland.....
