Satellite dishes are now a common sight all over the world but one thing that they have in common is that the all point upwards at one of many communications satellites orbiting the Earth. Due to the speed of the orbit of the satellites which coincides with the speed of rotation of the earth below, they appear not to move at all in the sky. This makes them ‘geostationary’!
The ASTRA satellites, 2F, 2E and 2G, which Sky TV uses and which we use to receive our TV signals, are all in geostationary orbit some 36,000km above the Earth's equator, and from the ground they appear to be fixed in the sky, although obviously they cannot be seen with the naked eye!
For the Crazy Tuesday group theme of ‘Looking up!’.
She doesnt wear blue often but I think she's quite cute in it.
I wish that darn umbrella weren't there. Jessie was standing off to the side holding it and just as I was about to shoot this, she put the unbrella down behind Sydney. I tried cloning it out and it was too obvious. So I opted to leave it there. Oh well. I'm just glad she was willing to pose for me. It's been a while. She was VERY excited about her new Ariel outfit which Grandma bought for her. :)
Adereham Hall, 71 Elizabeth Bay Road, is a nine-storey, 35 metre high apartment block completed in 1934 by Davie and Greenwood, builders, and designed by architects, Gordon McKinnon and Sons.
It has been nick-named “Gotham City’’, a reference to its neo-Gothic Manhattan 1920 and 30s style and period and “Withering Heights” apparently” after the number of gay lads that occupied it” according to John Stapleton’s book, “Terror in Australia: Workers’ Paradise Lost”.
This is a 9 shot panorama using my Laowa 15mm shift lens. Quite a bit of retouching was needed to remove lens flare.

A red-shouldered hawk's scream caught my attention, and with my camera in hand, I dashed out the door in the early evening. The shot was challenging; I had to lean back against the side of a house, tilt my head as far back as possible, and take the picture!
The hawk successfully snatched its target meal, stolen from another hawk perched on the branch above, before flying off to enjoy its reward!
