New Year's Eve in Sydney

Words can't really describe our New Year's Eve experience. We were lucky enough to have fantastic friends (thanks Jennie & Thor) with a spectacular view of the bridge & harbour. Add in great food & drink and it was a terrific night. Hopefully the pictures capture some the night's magic.



Hope everyone had a safe and happy new year!

Harbor Fireworks

We are very fortunate to have friends with amazing accommodations in Sydney, because occasionally we get invited for spectacular views and fun times. Recently, we went to our Jennie and Thor's place in Kirribilli to watch the finale of Australian Idol. The main focus was not on the show itself, but on the fireworks that accompanied it. Jennie and Thor's view is like a postcard, with uninterrupted views of the harbor, bridge and opera house.

Because I knew there would be fireworks, I invested in a tripod and attempted to learn as much about shooting fireworks as I could. Everything happened so quickly, that I was a little behind the curve and a lot of the photos are unrecognizable. The photos below are some of the better ones from the frenzy that night.
