Not in the same class as Ned's photos, but I snapped this one today on my phone and it made me smile.

Views from the Cockpit

These evening I had a phot job over Melbourne: here are a couple of the Eureka Tower, Melbourne's highest building:





Then an hour after sunset, we got some shots (unplanned!) of the lighting being tested on top of the new AAMI Stadium. Wish I'd had a video, the changing display was amazing

My god, that new stadium looks just like a whole bunch of the Telus Worlds from Vancouver all fused together.

Totally Awesome....McKay Bridge and Bedford Basin

Thanks for some great HRM memories. Showing off the 92 to the Sea King boys too, bet they were jealous, won't be long now though. All you need now is to replace the IRO.

ps Nice shot of Theodore....

Hey John.

What settings did you use on your camera for those great (almost) night shots?

It would be great to fly around concrete some day - the bugs were so bad in the bush I had to divert after 45 minutes to clean the windows...
