The above picture is a variation of the photo below... taken a year apart. Both pictures are composites. The photo above features the moon during a lunar eclipse, the picture below features Mars at its closest point in August 2003. I took the moon photo around 4 years ago with a 300mm telephoto lense outside my apartment in Eastgardens. During a lunar eclipse the Earth's shadow is relected off the the moon, causing a redish hue.

The pool featured in these pictures is the famous, and newly renovated, Bondi Icebergs. Im not sure why it is blue in the newer photo and green in the older.... maybe they were cleaning it!? The picture of Mars was take with a 270mm telephoto and left at near full resolution. It is placed close to where the actual Mars was when this picture was taken (though ofcourse it did not appear this large!) This is the only form I have the above image in.. The master file was lost when my laptop was stolen last December... (Always back up!)

The lighted building in the upper right hand corner of this photo is the Bondi Hotel. This place is important to me as I lived there for 6 months when I first made the move from Melbourne to Sydney all those years ago. It was white back then.. now its kinda pinkish. I took this photo from rocks near the pool in the photo above. I had climbed down to beach level in the hope of getting a better angle of the pool, but I couldnt get close enough with the tide up.

The photo below is another variation of the Icebergs pool... this one a 30 second exposure that leaves the breaking waves looking like a thin mist has moved over the area.
