gloomy days

This one's a shot of the Ferris Wheel at Luna Park in Sydney. In October 2008 we were cruising past on a Sydney Ferry & had a beautiful view of the wheel.
It was a beautiful clear day without a cloud in the sky.

I have a bright full colour image of the Ferris Wheel with bright blue sky & vibrant colourful cars. Yeah sure, that one's lovely, but not really my sort of thing. So with this one I wanted to create something completely different, go with the grunge and get a little dark.
I'm pretty happy with the result.

chess...

I shot this in Hyde Park, Sydney on Australia Day (Jan 26) 2009.
There was so much going on in the park, lots of things to see & of course huge crowds. We all had a great time & the boys were very excited to be filmed & interviewed by a TV crew for the 6 o'clock news.....
By the time we wandered past this Chess game, we were all pretty tired, so we rested there a while & watched them play.
I have no idea how to play chess, but have always fancied learning..... perhaps one day....
