Sunset over Jervis Bay • The sun was setting by the time we got to Jervis Bay. Jervis Bay is interesting because it is Commonwealth—not State—land (there is a naval base there), and because the beach has very white sand.

Wollongong under the moon • A view over Wollongong, south of Sydney, under a full moon. Look at how the moon is so bright and the air so clear that we can see the very bright reflection of the moon in surface of the sea.

Fireworks over Sydney Harbour • One night while I was in Sydney in 2006 there was a fireworks display over the Harbour, probably for a private party. My camera wasn’t on a tripod, so I couldn't afford to risk a long exposure which would have resulted in a very blurry shot, which is why these photos aren’t very impressive as firework photos.
