A Regurgitation of the Mind

Day 07: A Photo That Makes You Happy I love night photography, particularly in urban areas. There’s something about the darkness mixed with the bright lights of the city that just sets my sense tingling. I’ve also got a bit of an affectionate spot for Sydney. I’ve only been there once, but I loved every second of it. It’s so vibrant and busy - full of excitement. I don’t know if I could deal with living there, but it’d be a great place to visit once every year or so. I’ve got friends who aren’t the least bit patriotic. I certainly wouldn’t class myself as a full on patriot either. I don’t go dancing around with an Australian flag around my back every Australia Day. I don’t watch the AFL grand final every year with anticipation (like most sports, I detest AFL). But I do love my country. I like how accepting we are as a culture (generally speaking), our multiculturalism, our standard of living, our weather (although not as much that of Tasmania) and our rich history. I think I’m pretty lucky to be living in a country like Australia. So, combine night photography and Australia, you end up with this. There are a bunch of awesome photos of the Sydney Harbour Bridge online, I just grabbed this one off Google Images. Each one gives me that double satisfaction - an awesome light composition, combined with a historic and renowned landmark of a country that I love.
