Taken on vacation trips
This busker was right in the midst of his performance at the Darling Harbour in Sydney, Australia, when we visited the area earlier in November last year. He spotted me as I was trying to get a shot of him performing in front of his audience and gamely struck a pose, much to the amusement of the children in the audience. I have post-processed the shot in Photoshop to bring attention to his pose as well as his brightly-dressed audience.
A up-and-close view of the people doing the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb at dusk. I thought the helicopter added an unusual and interesting touch to the final picture. If you grew up in the era I did, the title of this shot should ring a bell: a tribute to the classic Apple II game from 1982. 🙂
I visited Dubai recently after a work-related meeting in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates recently. Amidst news of the financial troubles Dubai is facing currently, we took in the sights of the amazing skyscrapers and construction within the city itself. This is a view of the Burj Dubai, which has surpassed the Taipei 101 as the tallest building in the world for now.
