Rainbow Over Manly
Was looking out the back window of the apartment this evening when I noticed a bunch of people in neighbouring apartments taking photo’s of the sky. I quickly grabbed my camera, and ran out the front downstairs.
Wow, what a view! Pity I only had my 28–135 IS onboard, and not the 18–300 F2.8 L IS that I am sure Canon are going to come out with any day!

MS Queen Victoria alongside in Sydney
I have just posted a new gallery of some shots of the Cunard Line cruise ship MS Queen Victoria on her recent visit to Sydney, Australia. For more information on this beautiful ship, check out this Wikipedia entry, or the Cunard Line website.

This web site will feature my travel, landscape, and fine art photography, which you will be able to purchase as high quality prints, greeting cards, or email as eCards. I occasionally muse on matters in general.
