view large and spot the bridge climbers
Its a pretty wild place. Driving back from a sunrise session the other day I passed the local 7-eleven just up the road from where I live and noticed a news crew setup out the front. I did not think much of it at the time but found out later that someone took to two people there with an axe, crazy stuff. I reckon they might need to change the sign back to 'The Wild West' from the 'Inner West'. I still remember the old days in Newtown and surrounds, certainly not the latte sipping culture it is now 🙂
Its pretty shit that you turn up to a 7-eleven to grab some late night goodies and get attacked by some nutter, hopefully the two that were attacked do make a recovery and return to some resemblance of a normal life again..
Anyways, here's a whole bunch of images stitched together into a panorama of Sydney Harbour, quite nice after the sun (well what there was of it) had gone down and lights of the city cut through the scene. No axe wielding peeps out there on this night, just the couples armed with cold pizza and wine for a romantic evening on the harbour…or thats what it seemed 🙂
Far out…..
Partly for the fact you were in the vicinity when the incident was being cleaned up, but mainly for the detail and deliciousness of this pano.
Top effort, G!
Ohhhhhh!!

I have been known to quite enjoy climbing that there bridge!
I did the bridge climb last year. It was amazing.
Fabulous work and image! Beautiful!
Fantastic pano mate, I need to get over the other side of the bridge now I have seen this shot, awesome work
Excellent work on the pano. Lots of crisp detail.
I don't see any climbers but I see a whole lot of beauty. This is the king of all Sydney photos, or at least of all the ones I have seen.
I'm was her in las December nice place., beautiful. Thanks.
Sometimes words cannot possibly do a (panoramic) photo justice – this is that image. Part of the mystery is how you managed to capture this so well…
Thanks +Al Chris 🙂

+Julia Robertson 🙂 braver than I 🙂
+Yvonne Johnson seems alot of people do this 🙂 thanks for the comment and view 🙂
+Shelly Gunderson Thanks Shelly
+Ian L yeah that side is good, very popular, if you do go via a car, just park in the street behind this which is Kirriibilli Ave, on the right hand side is a 2 hour free parking zone.
+Marc Briggs Thanks mate, I hope the new year is treating you well.
+Carolyn Fahm 🙂 easy to take pictures of beautiful things 🙂
+jose flores I hope you enjoyed your visit 🙂
+Ted Edwards in this case, its all about the timing, you need it to be dark enough that all the city lights are on but still light enough for some detail in the sky. This was well past sunset and in that time often referred to the 'blue hour'
Have a great weekend mate.
+Gerard Blacklock The night climb is stunning it is a shame no cameras are allowed
+Gerard Blacklock (^ 0 ^) Thanks!! I hope so same to you!!
