I really like the second image!
We were in Hobart recently. Did you go up to the peak of Mt Wellington?

We did. Bit of a winding drive, isn't it? But what a view!

Beautiful photo. A hundred years ago I stood on that dock and looked into the gin clear water and saw a couple hundred starfish all grouped together. Not sure what amazed me the most was all the starfish or the clearness of the water.
All rather poetic, Fred
. You would no doubt have seen quite a few changes over the years. Still a beautiful spot, though, with the mountain rising behind Hobart town behind me from where the photo was taken. Cheers mate.Mar 17, 2024 01:04:10 #

After seeing the second photo I had to check the first one for the location they were moored at. Good job on both pictures.
Yeah . . . tiny aren't they. But they ARE there

Is that a Sunrise or a Sunset in the 2nd photo ?
Interesting you ask, John. Was actually a sunset in both but because it was shot through the hotel window there were a few aberrations from the glass which I used to my advantage with a bit of "manipulation" in the second image.

The 2nd is a great pic Paul - but.... I have lived in Hobart for over 50 years now and know the view you showed quite well! From The Grand Chancellor Hotel you're looking south east so the Sunrise/Sunset you show is due south - never ever have I seen the sun rise or set down there !

I'm not sure of the exact direction the window faced (roughly east) but the sun rose slightly to the left of that harbour tower left on image. We were in that hotel for 4 nights and had to shut the curtains in the morning as the sun came up, such was the glare. Consequently, it set somewhere in the west, which was roughly to the right over my shoulder and behind Mt Wellington. Perhaps there's more than one Tasmania
