  23. Sally, It makes such a striking silhouette, even in the thumbnail version. The first time I saw it the tree reminded me of Grace Jones' hair cut in that famous 80s poster/album cover photo of her ;^). You've had so many memorable shots this year and you've continued to show us your interesting finds all around Sydney. I think your feelings of connections to the people, places, and scenes you show us really carries through. And I can relate to having a number of cast off shots in order to capture the heart of what you are seeing through the lens.
    Wishing you all good things in abundance during 2009, and many happy adventures!
