Happy New Year

  
I spent a week in Sydney and was at the harbour to watch the fireworks on New Year’s eve. It was a great display and I was lucky that I could get so close to the bridge without the crowds of people.
 
I visited the Blue Mountains. The views were spectacular.Following are some photos of my trip.

Darwin to Perth

Sadly I had to leave the warm Northern Territory and fly back to Perth. I hope to come back next year for another visit.
The vast spaces of the countryside always amazes me and I am drawn to capture its beauty with my camera. Here are some of the scenes on my flight back to Perth.
