Skywatch - Good vibrations


This weekend will see 38,000 people jam into the Brasilian Fields and Parade Ground of Centennial Park for the annual Good Vibrations festival, over half-a-dozen stages. This tent, by the look of the clouds, protects the appropriately named "Laundry" stage.

  6. It's the angle I suppose but the tent appears to be flying up in the clouds. Sounds like a fun festival.

  9. I love the shiny tent and the low cloud above - opens like a mouth to the blue sky beyond.

  10. Great photo. I can almost hear the thunder in those dark clods. If you go there, Julie, make sure you'll take your brollie.

  15. Now isn't that just a great skywatch .. the fun foreground, the lovely clouds in the middle and the stormy bit at the top ... who would have thought so much of a story could be told in a sky image.

  16. I feel as if I've just come upon Camelot. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful shot, Julie.

  17. Julie, regarding churches vs pubs, I think it's a toss up. There are certainly more pubs as you get closer to the city but maybe more churches as you venture further out in the suburbs.

  23. Unique, beautiful, and dramatic. Those are the characteristics of this photo. A very well composed and beautiful shot! I like the use of the roof of the marquee as a subject in this photo.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

  30. Oh what a shot! The circus tent in Monte Carlo looks just like this without the flags - and how the flags 'make' it but of course the shot if made by that glorious sky and your capture of shadow and light. Gorgeous!
