Happy Australia Day - Vancouver BC Based Photographer

Happy Australia Day to all my Aussie friends. My first experience with this day was in Whistler back in the early 1990's. It was a little nuts and I'm sure its only increased 10 times over. I love that beautiful country and miss my friends there. The shots below were from my trip there in September 2011. I had spent the day walking around Sydney by myself and just as I was about to head back to Manly the setting sun hit the opera house. With the dramatic dark skies it made for some beautiful photos.

It was hard to leave my friends Lisa and Oliver behind in Melbourne knowing it would be awhile before we crossed paths again but I was looking forward to seeing Sydney as it had been 16 years since my last visit. The other bonus was I was going to get to stay with Lisa’s mother Magosia in Dee Why where I had spent a lot of time on my previous trip. We drove out to Avalon, then Whale Beach looking for my old cockroach ridden house and then to Palm Beach for a glass of champagne at The Boathouse. It was a great spot to enjoy the last light of the day.
