Yesterday I was driving home down the Princes Highway at about 5pm when I looked left (eastwards) and saw that the setting sun from the right was hitting these buildings at Sydney airport. They were glowing gold, and reflected in the Cooks River. As well, there were patches of blue sky, and some quite heavy cloud cover, to create a happy convergence of such wonderful colours. I found the next available parking spot and rushed before the sun disappeared (about 10 minutes later).I had a hard time deciding which picture to post, and decided (with the help of my son) on the one here. But maybe there's another you like better. Have a look here if you want to see the others.
Picture perfect! Thank you Sally, you've made my day.
ReplyDeleteSally, what a gorgeous and inspirational shot. I love the extra photos, too. (And quite a contrast to the one taken on a cloudy day!)
ReplyDeleteNice shot - Stunning colors. A real post card.
ReplyDeletehow fantabulous! What a shot, what colours. Wow wow, Sally. hard to believe this is the same building as in your last photo on the link. All the photos are amazing but yes, I love the one you've chosen. Well done - great shot!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful shot Sally. It's amazing how the surface material of the buildings reflects the setting sun.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful reflexion!!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
Really good image, Sally. Makes the old Cooks River look quite attractive.
ReplyDeleteStunning colours. Wouldn't have recognised it as the airport. The light after the storm yesterday was beautiful. I had my head stuck out the window with the camera.
ReplyDeleteAmazing series of photos, & i agree with the choice you & Ben made. The photo could have been posted in Sky Watch Friday!!!
ReplyDeleteAm heading off to look at Arncliffe streets...and yes, I only have THAT sister...she is the high-flyer of the pair of us!
I'll be heading to the airport at about the same time today, so I hope it looks as fantastic when I'm there as it does in your photos Sally.
ReplyDeleteWow! *amazed with the picture*
ReplyDeleteIncreased and hung to the wall, this photograph is extraordinary
ReplyDeleteA great shot for Sky Watch Friday. Have a fab weekend.
ReplyDeletevery attractive picture! it was a good thing you managed to catch the light in time.

oh wow. this is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots! You were lucky to have a place to pull over. This is one of my favorite types of photo where you have the dark sky and water and then the sun comes out and magically lights up the buildings. Beautiful!
ReplyDeletei am just new to CDP, but found your blog and absolutely love this picture... the ethereal brillance is mesmerizing... plus it reminds me of one of my favorite movies "what dreams may come" ... thanks for such a picture!
