Armoured personnel carrier at a crossing

An old, armoured personnel carrier at a crossing rolled through the streets of Sydney today and parked just outside of Australia Square. There were few television crews, lots of reporters and photographers and yet no one could tell me what the occasion or the reason for it to be there was. It created a little sessantion as it was parked in a very busy spot during the lunch time.

Australian Championships 2008

You may have noticed I have posted less photos in last two weeks. This is because I was very busy photographing best speed skaters in Australia. Firstly, in NSW Championships and last weekend in Australian Open Speed Skating Championships 2008. These two weekends resulted in close to 5000 photographs. Each had to be processed and tagged with competitors helmet numbers for easy search. This was a very rewarding but very tedious task.

Pictured here are (from right to left) Ben Southee (344 Australian Champion), followed by 164 Lachlan Hay and 138 Jeremy Beck.

Urban Reflection

I had to travel on a different line than usual. While I was waiting for my train to depart another train pulled along side the train I was in. I have noticed very strong, vivid landscape like reflections in its windows. I took the camera out of my bag run along all windows in my carriage trying to find the best of these reflections. This photograph is the result of this search. I think it is quite cool.
