Very nice Sig...
Super cityscape and a great view of the fort.
So interesting! I looked up Fort Denison, which let me to research Martello towers. You've got a photograph there of the only one in Australia, and one of only three in the southern hemisphere. Who knew?? Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for the research trip!
Cool dude. Yes it was built to protect us from the Russians during the Crimean War. The tower on left in the background has a great restaurant at the top with 360 degree views! And you get to see all of it because the floor slowly rotates! The last time I was up there my friend put her purse under the table on the window ledge and it ended up on the other side of the room.
I thought about going up there but didn't. I had wanted to go on top of the arch of the Harbor Bridge, but my feet hurt and one knee acted up, and I should have stayed a couple of more days to see the New Years Eve fireworks display at the Harbor Bridge. I loved Australia and there is talk of coming again. Met an Aussie that was Special Forces during Vietnam. Got his phone number through a friend. Super friendly and I actually went to a real Australian BBQ, except they don't call shrimp shrimp but prawns.
Stunning capture my friend. God Bless.
Wow, klasse Aufnahme!!! Da komme ich wohl nicht hin, zu weit zum fliegen für mich :-)
Shining shot.
Wonderful capture of Sidney Sig!!
A very good city skyline photo!

Superb! 5+! Thanks a lot.
Very nice shot!
When the First Fleet arrived in 1788, Fort Denison was a steep, rocky island known to the Aboriginal people as Mat-te-wan-ye and was a popular fishing place for local tribes. The name "Pinchgut" arose soon after, as convicts who had committed secondary crimes were charged and confined in leg irons on the island, with rations of bread and water. (more useless info for you, Sig ;) glad you liked "OZ" and someone 'threw another shrimp on the Barbie' LOL BB
quite a cityscape
Very beautiful capture and interesting shot !
Wonderful view! Excellent shot! :)
great cityscape with building in the foreground, nice shot
Great shot! What a cool contrast, the old structure against the backdrop of a modern city.
Oh, the history of it all...if we could time travel we could check out Sydney in its earliest days...wouldn't that be something?
Fantastic capture, Sig!!!
Fantastic capture and I had not seen anything to do with Fort Denison. Wonderful info and I always learn from your travels and postings.
