Australia Day today

Today is Australia Day. I went to the city and stood there for 2 hours taking pictures. Likely I'll go again tonight for the fireworks, if I can get parking

Happy Birthday Australia!


Favorite from this set:


The rest are here:

BTW, this whole set (except the tram and the tower shots) are taken using Nikon's 55-200 VR kit lens on Nikon D90. I'm quite happy with the results.
