When the wife and kid and I got to the hotel that afternoon and I looked out at the view, I knew I had something! Dropping everything (baby included) I started shooting from the window. The light was warm and soft, the sky clear, yadda, yadda, yadda... On that trip, it was my only day in Sydney. We arrived late and were leaving back to DC the next morning. I knew I had 0 photo-ops so I tried to take advantage of what I had. It is surely a view that doesn't show up on postcards from Oz, but I think it conveys the character of the city. It includes several "icons" The bridge, the Sydney Tower and Luna Park. Christian PS: the warehouses on the middle-right are cargo terminals... I think. Rob?
