Old bathtub on apartment rooftop in Darlinghurst with Sydney (Australia) city skyline in the background. I was struck by this scene in how it looked so out of place yet seemed so normal in the city of Sydney. I thought it was bizzare and told something about life and how strange things seem yet also very ordinary in everyday life.

Very unusual but very cool. Well done.
Many thanx Craig, and yes I thought the scene of a bath tub on a city rooftop unusual too.

The buildings remind me of computer software packaging design (‘Sim City’ or something?). Like the glow to the whole scene too.
This was just so out of the ordinary I just had to get it and it just lent to HDR as wel. Many thanks for your comments Bruce.
