Canberra has some amazing sunsets, and this view of Telstra Tower with the Brindabella Ranges in the background provided a wonderfully orange sky.
Captured from Mt Ainslie, the setting sun to the side of the scene cast golden rays across the tower.
We knew this area was going to get a drenching all week, everyone did. But my partner had work booked, so here we are.
Looking around through the rain, the tower stood out, so I went up and gave it a go.

Have you ever wondered why the tower changes colour? Or have you worked out when the Raiders, Brumbies or the GWS Giants play, the tower is lit up in support of our local teams?
The Tower also supports many local charities, the community and honours special occasions and events. E.g. The Tower is pink on Pink Ribbon Day, yellow on Daffodil Day and blue for Jeans for Genes Day.

I went up Mt. Ainslie this morning hoping that Telstra Tower would be an island in a sea of fog. I was not disappointed.
Rising 195 metres above the summit of Black Mountain, the Telstra Tower presents 360 degree views of the city and the Brindabella Ranges.

This elegant Tower on the summit of Black Mountain has won two awards for outstanding design. The first in 1979, for imaginative and effective use of concrete in a building. The Tower won its second award, the 1980 Civic Design Award of the ACT Chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.
The Tower incorporates a theatrette, cafe and gift shop and the Executive Briefing Centre; meeting rooms with state of the art AV, spectacular views and free parking.
Since opening in 1980, Telstra Tower has continually created an attraction of immense fascination and appeal, marking it one of the National Capital's most popular tourist and local attractions.
