When the wind changes

When I was out at Olympic Park on Sunday, a wedding group camealong for photos. Someone had the bright idea of standing under the arc of the jets....a great idea for an arty shot, until, that is, the wind direction changed...
Here's a panorama of kids frolicking in the fountain (you can trace the path of the one in blue!) And there's more of my fountain shots if you click here.

The Circle Walk


The former state brick works at Homebush, between the Olympics site and Bicentennial Park, was seen in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Home to endangered frogs, and with an integral story to tell about the industrial development of Sydney,as well as some of the oldest geological evidence, it is now a tourist attraction by virtue of the Circle Walk. Here's an interesting Blog about it.
And there's the Olympic Stadium popping up behind it! History of the State Brickworks.
