/ . / Fireworks on the Arrival of the QE2 in Sydney Harbour 2007. This was my first attempt at tyring to photography this very difficult subject.
/ . / Please view large photo to appreciate panorama fully / . / Thousands of people gathered at Sydney Harbour on 20 February 2007, to see a rare reunion between two renowned passenger liners, the Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Elizabeth 2. The QM2 – the world’s largest passenger liner – arrived at dawn accompanied by a fleet of small boats. When her sister ship sailed into Sydney some 12 hours later, the two vessels saluted each other with their horns. The event was being marked with a fireworks display before the QM2 departed for Hong Kong before midnight. Crowds of people got up at dawn to witness the arrival of the 23-storey, 150,000-tonne QM2, which was on its maiden world cruise. / . / The visit to Sydney by the two Cunard Queens brought thousands to the harbour, and trapped thousands in traffic. Transport services collapsed under the pressure of peak hour traffic and thousands of spectators crowding the foreshore to catch a glimpse of the cruise liners QM2 and QE2. The event gridlocked traffic around the harbour, the last ferry left early stranding passengers and train indicators displayed wrong or confusing messages and the Cross City Tunnel was closed for maintenance. / / The QM2 docked at a naval base because it was too large for the harbour’s international terminal. The QE2 was also escorted in by a flotilla of yachts, kayaks and tugs. The last time Cunard’s royal liners made a dual visit to Sydney was in 1942. Then the original Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth were troop carriers dubbed the grey ghosts taking Australian soldiers to war, and their arrival was a closely guarded secret.
/ . / The Sydney Opera House is an expressionist modern design, with a series of large precast concrete ‘shells’, each taken from a hemisphere of the same radius, forming the roofs of the structure. The Opera House covers 1.8 hectares (4.5 acres) of land. It is 183 metres (605 feet) long and about 120 metres (388 feet) wide at its widest point. It is supported on 580 concrete piers sunk up to 25 metres below sea level. Its power supply is equivalent for a town of 25,000 people. The roofs of the House are covered with 1.056 million glossy white and matte cream Swedish-made tiles.

Sydney Dust storm – Opera House by David Petranker Strong westerly winds across NSW have generated one of the most spectacular dust storms in the history of Sydney according to the Weather Channel. An orange haze has covered the city, reducing visibility, causing transport problems and creating health concerns for those with respiratory problems. “This is the biggest dust storm I have ever seen in Sydney,” says Dick Whitaker, senior meteorologist at The Weather Channel with more than 40 years of meteorological experience. “The last dust storm to hit Sydney was in October 2002 but it was nowhere as big as the one we are seeing today.” “The storm is as a consequence of an extended period of strong winds and very dry conditions over western NSW. We are looking at it gradually improving later this morning to early afternoon but it should remain hazy all day.” Leader readers have been quick to grab the abundance of photo opportunities this morning. Sydney woke to the red haze as dust blown in from western NSW caused havoc. All citybound lanes on the M5 East tunnel were closed earlier this morning while ferries were cancelled and some trains were delayed. Even a horse racing meeting at Canterbury Park racecourse had to be cancelled today. Passengers at Sydney Airport were told to expect significant delays and motorists should take extra care throughout the day because of harsh weather conditions. Sutherland SES spokesman John Gonzalez said volunteers had taken away fallen trees at Kareela and Menai. Matt Kirby at Kogarah SES said his team removed trees at Hurstville, Blakehurst and Rockdale. Primary schools in St George and Sutherland Shire are also taking precautions, keeping children in classrooms until the dust settles. Students from Our Lady of Fatima Primary School at Caringbah, were among many advised by teachers to remain inside with the windows closed. http://www.theleader.com.au/news/local/news/general/dust-storm-loses-puff/1631494.aspx
