Here's a photo from Saturday night, while at a friend's house for a bonfire. The kids (including older kids and adults) always love a bonfire, and it's great to sit near it on a cold night, with the bonfire providing lots of warmth.

This photo was taken at the same location as a bonfire silhouette photo taken several years ago.

The Batman Bridge, which crosses the Tamar River in northern Tasmania. It was built in the late 1960s, and was the first cable-stayed bridge in Australia.

This long exposure was taken just after sunset, with headlights of cars traversing the bridge providing some lighting of the railing on the top of the bridge.

This is the Tasman Bridge, which crosses over the Derwent River in Hobart, Tasmania. This photo was taken from Rose Bay, on the east bank of the Derwent River.

This bridge gained a lot of media attention in 1975, when a section in the centre of the bridge collapsed after one of the bridge's pylons was hit by the bulk ore carrier Lake Illawarra. Four cars fell off the bridge, killing five people, and seven crew members on the Lake Illawarra drowned when the ship sank.

Here's a shot of the well-known Sydney Opera House, one of the Australian icons that is easily recognised by many people around the world.
This was taken before dawn, while on a photoshoot with some local Sydney OCAU amateur photographers. It was a cold and windy morning, and the sunrise didn't provide very interesting colours, but I'm happy with some of the shots I got before the sun appeared, including the one shown below.

This shot was taken along Orchard Road, in Singapore, back in November 2005. The fountain is in front of the Ngee Anne City shopping centre, and the temporary tent structure between the fountain and the mall was there for a display of some sort.

Some photos from a bonfire at a friend's house.
This photo shows a child silhouetted in front of the bonfire, with a shower of sparks rising from the fire.
