Nice set.
Are those workers on the bridge in the last shot or is the walkway open to the public?
They look all dressed similarly.
Heck of a view there.


One can pay (up to about $200, I believe) to climb the bridge. The cost in time and effort was too prohibitive for me to attempt, not to mention my ever-present acrophobia. Still, people do it, and you can receive recognition for doing so. Just to give you an idea, if you check the download, you can see people at the top (the angle skews the perspective a bit, but the flags fly at the top of the bridge).

Some quick hit-and-run shots taken by me today of landmark Sydney, Australia. Later this week I'll be getting a tour of the Opera House and attending a show. But for now, this is a taste.

Wow, now I don't have to spend a fortune to fly to Australia to see Sydney.

It's really a fun thing to do. They put you in a jumpsuit and make sure you have nothing that can fall to the roadway below. They take all the photos and then sell them to you. But. . .the views of Sydney are breathtaking. If you are ever there, take advantage of the opportunity.
