Friday night lights

 

 

The big game at the MCG, as seen from the toilets on the 35th floor of the Sofitel
 (turned out quite well considering how dirty the outside of the window was).

A wake

City lights

Corner of Flinders and Exhibition Streets

I work in that building on the left with the antenna thingo on it

It's a kind of magic

The magic bit of the Our Magic Hour art installation atop the Sportsgirl

Winter's eve

A foggy walk home tonight

City reflections

An Olympic Park light illuminates the fog

Hochgurtel by night

The fountain in front of the Exhibition Building

I wasn't expecting to see it in operation when I cut

 through the Carlton Gardens

But there it was looking lovely in the spotlights

A new toy

I bought a new camera on the weekend - another Canon Powershot, but this time an SX 230 HS - a few steps up from what I had.  I haven't had much of a chance to experiment with it yet, but I did take a few photos coming home last night.

 

Big(ish) wheel

This is the ferris wheel that sets up at Federation Square during the Comedy Festival

Blurry Park

Who needs a steady hand, eh? AAMI Park looks cool when blurry.

Morell Bridge

Lit up

Looks like they were testing the lights at AAMI Park again tonight

I painted some photos

Long time visitors to my blog might recognise these as close-up reflections of the Birrarung Marr Skywheel on the Yarra River at night

Federation Square

Solar Equation

Is it the red planet? 

A meteor crashing down on the city?

No, it's Solar Equation, part of the Light in Winter exhibition at Federation Square

Girl in New York: the Empire State Building

Views from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, and one from the Top of the Rock.

I don't know what this building is, but I love it. You can see it in the photo above, middle left.

The Flatiron Building on the left and Fifth Avenue

The Chrysler Building (far left) and Empire State Building (far right) from the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at the Rockefeller Centre...Not a very sharp photo thanks to two Long Island iced teas
