This has been photographed in part of Bolton, everytime we drive through on this road facing that way, I just love how the road and the houses just swerve around the corners. / Photographing my neighbourhood around and about!
We have had some seriously strong winds the last couple of days, out and about today found this poor MG ZT Touring crushed under part of a house that had come down on it, the poor guy was asleep in the house when it happened at 5am today (2 March 08), not his day me thinks??

BEST VIEWED LARGER This shot was taken around midnight from under Sydney Harbour Bridge at Milsons Point. / The Equipment used was a Nikon D300 using a Nikon 18-200mm lens, the shot used 3 bracketed images then processed using Photomatix HDR Software Sydney Opera House / / Sydney Opera House must be one of the most recognisable images of the modern world – up there with the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building – and one of the most photographed. Not only is it recognisable, it has come to represent ‘Australia’. Although only having been open since 1973, it is as representative of Australia as the pyramids are of Egypt and the Colosseum of Rome. The Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point, which reaches out into the harbour. The skyline of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the blue water of the harbour and the Sydney Opera House, viewed from a ferry or from the air, is dramatic and unforgettable. Ironic, perhaps, that this Australian icon – the Opera House with a roof evocative of a ship at full sail – was designed by renowned Danish architect – Jorn Utzon. In the late 1950s the New South Wales (NSW) Government established an appeal fund to finance the construction of the Sydney Opera House, and conducted a competition for its design. Utzon’s design was chosen. The irony was that his design was, arguably, beyond the capabilities of engineering of the time. Utzon spent a couple of years reworking the design and it was 1961 before he had solved the problem of how to build the distinguishing feature – the ‘sails’ of the roof. The venture experienced cost blow-outs and there were occasions when the NSW Government was tempted to call a halt. In 1966 the situation – with arguments about cost and the interior design, and the Government withholding progress payments – reached crisis point and Jorn Utzon resigned from the project. The building was eventually completed by others in 1973. After more than 30 years, the Sydney Opera House has its first interior designed by Utzon. The Utzon Room, a transformed reception hall that brings to life Jorn Utzon’s original vision for his masterpiece, was officially opened on September 16 2004.

A Brief History of the Royal National Park Sydney / The Royal National Park on the southern border of Sydney, New South Wales Australia, is Australia’s first National Park and after Yellowstone in the U.S.A. was the second National Park to be established in the world. The park was originally named The National Park but this was changed in 1955 after a quick visit by Queen Elizabeth II to the Royal National Park. It was created as a people’s park in 1879. Only 32km from the city centre of Sydney it is ideally located for Sydney locals and tourists alike to escape the pressures of the big city and relax in natural Australian bush, forest and coastal surroundings. The park covers an area of 132 sq km. / Royal National Park Sydney Map… National Park Bushwalking & Hiking / There are many walking tracks in the Sydney Royal National Park and ample access points to reach them.
