A lovely spot to read in downtown Sydney: overlooking Darling Harbour, under a tree and still warmed by the sun.

...above the clouds.
Taken on the final descent in to Sydney when I flew there from Melbourne. We were skimming the clouds and as the pilot banked to line up for the final approach the moon swooned into view.
A few seconds later we plunged through the clouds and underneath and all of a sudden it was night. The iconic harbour bridge's shape was clearly identifiable by the lights on its arch and all around the cars were leaving trails of ruby and diamond.
This is one more reason to carry your camera hand luggage!

A footbridge across the Yarra river in Melbourne, Seafarers Bridge provides great opportunity for exploring shapes in a photograph. When the sky is clear and the sun is out, the contrasts provides a strong, chiaroscuro-like effect when shot in black and white.

Halfway on the epic flight from London to Sydney, I touched down in Bangkok. While enjoying the chance to stretch my legs after a 11 hours in a tube, I was pleasantly surprised to find the airport was extremely tastefully designed.
Noticing that the Sun was setting, I jogged over to an area of the airport where I could frame the sun at the right angle. This was the resulting photograph. Tip: always carry your camera equipment in your hand luggage!

Over the past 20 million years, the stormy Southern Ocean and blasting Antarctic winds have gradually eroded the limestone cliffs of Australia's southern coast to form what we see today.
We made the 300km Great Ocean Road drive West from Melbourne and all along saw spectacular coastal landscapes. The Twelve Apostles at the far end, however, was clearly the highlight and I could easily spend two days exploring the area and watching the light change on the massive stacks as the sun rose and set.
This photo was taken from the viewing platform which offered the best possible vantage point if you have only a short while to view this natural spectacle.
