Centrepoint dominates the skyline of the city. Being such an obvious symbol of the city, it is a challenge to showcase it in a different light, so to speak. The lead image depicts the nightly migration of the Botanic Garden bat colony, thousands of them!

Indeed you have showcased it in a different light. Wonderful photographs but I particularly like the first with the birds flying about it. The view from the top must be stunning.
ReplyDeleteEach of these images has its own distinct voice and together they tell a complex story about this tower.
ReplyDeleteYou sure found some new angles here.
ReplyDeleteAre some of those birds bats?
You've done a great job, though! I like the first one the best, but I'm a sucker for silhouettes. This tower reminds me a lot of our Space Needle.
ReplyDeleteGreat skies and nice skyscrapers.
ReplyDeleteWell captured Julie.
Have a lovely weekend.

It is amazing! I like all the birds in the first shot and the sky looks very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteI'm also very fond of the first picture--I love all the colors in the clouds. You captured it so well.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful skies and skyscrapers!:-)
ReplyDeletethose are super shots, you can feel the height in those buildings

Dina (and others) all of those birds are bats. I have adjusted the text to indicate that this swarm is but just a small part of the nightly swarm which occurs just on sunset, currently 630 to about 830. The sky is awash with circling bats.
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures and so interesting to know and see different parts of your world. I like your new picture.
ReplyDeleteTerrific shots, especially the silhouettes. The one with the bats i sgreat but I really like the one with the Brett Whiteley matchsticks.

fantastic shots...the first one is great.
ReplyDeleteGreat Captures.
ReplyDeleteI like the different points of view.
my fav is the last one...
ReplyDeleteAce photos - not sure I would want to see the bats in real life. Love the last shot - am very envious of that fab blue sky xo
ReplyDeleteEveryone likes the last one, me too. I think you must have a "fancy" camera.
ReplyDeleteBruce.
These are all soooo good! You have, indeed, captured various moods and light. The flight of the bats is awesome! One must feel small standing below those buildings while looking up with a camera!
ReplyDeleteLooks as if the birds where cleaning the sky.
ReplyDeletePlease have a nice Friday.
Wow!!! That's all I got...wow!
ReplyDeleteI love the sky in the first one, but the view of the tower int he second one is great. And the lines in the last one, reminds me a little of string art!
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt, the top photo is the stand out one here. Everything about it is brilliant. Colour, art factor, composition, everything. Love it!
ReplyDeleteReally imaginative compositions, especially the one with the matchsticks. I walk past two of these locations all the time and those shots have never occurred to me.
ReplyDeleteMuch effort invested on this impressive shots. Presented different perspective worthy of accolade.
ReplyDeleteI do like the cloudy sky filled with bats! My word, I would have thought they were birds, that's quite something! I love the contrast in colours in this one! And thanks for popping past my blog today! Glad to have met you and I will certainly visit yours again!
ReplyDeleteNo matter how much an icon is photographed there is still a challenge for the next photographer ... I think you have captured something quite different with the first shot ... very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe first photograph is breathtaking mate! :) Seeing your interest in 'not the obvious' stuff, here is a competition you may be interested to participate in document through photographs - check out the Cabbie-oke karaoke going on in the streets of Sydney and Melbourne this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing to see a bat colony right in the middle of a big city. What's there to eat I wonder? As usual great photography, Julie.
ReplyDeleteIts an interesting icon of Sydney. Great views from the top. You have a nice collection of shots with beaut skies.
ReplyDeletelovely photos!
ReplyDeleteThose are great, I especially like the first one :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic skywatch and love the reflections in your next post
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I like the way you've photographed the Centerpoint in different angels and light. The first one is super. I've never seen bats flying about. That must be quite an experience.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
