Thanks for the welcome guys

There must be something going funny with Sydney's sudden streak of rain and lightning although it is quite fun to watch. Didn't have my camera with me during the last few storms. Just yesterday when I was crossing the Harbour Bridge you can see lightning striking non stop!

Oh well, looking at the weather trend lately I guess there's always another chance to capture a few more

De_Cruelz: welcome aboard. I wouldn't have liked to be on the receiving end of that strike. Ouch!

Zane - *wow* Great work from Friday & Saturday. Surreal and dreamy.

Now Smelly; what's this with a Toyota Echo? They run out of real race cars? Or maybe a 20-somethings gal on her way home from Coles took a wrong turn onto the track

James, obviously it's a race-tuned echo!

Zane, I really like #2 from friday.

This Echo was in one of the car clubs I was in yesterday... this little Echo has TRD suspensions all round and a few minor mods. Went quite well for what it was and certainly handled itself on top of Wakefield nicely. I was tempted to have a go though... didn't.. I didn't find the driving position to be confident to punt that about as hard as I would want it to be.

Oh, don't be too surprised if you do get beaten by an Echo.. bolt on TRD superchargers are becoming more and more common as a mod even if it's a fwd.

Aha! Even though I was joking, I was right!

btw, how far is Wakefield from Sydney? Someone told me it was out near Canberra?

Zane i like the second shot from your friday ones . Looks like the post office at Martin place . The angle is a bit distracting though . Also the second shot of the flowers . Nice colour.

Smelly .Nice catch on the MX-5 . I hate the toyota echo (not your shot) just the car . Who is the designer at Toyota (and i use the term loosely) . The echo and now the hilux have a toy look about them .Not very pleasing on the eye . Weird proportions .


Welcome De_Cruelz Cool lightining shots . Hydro also . I'm guessing the F1 boats may have been cancelled . That looks like it would be a great event .

Thanks people for commenting...

Ed, you had no choice ... I knew #2 is your pick

Tony, with the angle, I just realised all my friday ones are tilted one way or the other ... funny enough I didnt take notice of it until now...

My fav is probably #3 - Merry Christmas - because it reminds me of my upcoming holiday and brings some hope to my life ...

Hmm... interesting... wonder if it was a crop... the thing is that there's no real "blur" that the cars are moving but it's an interesting concept. Certainly get 9 shots in a row by doing that.
