While out shooting in Fremantle on Saturday evening, one of my kids pointed out the reflected sunset sky in a window. We all took some photos of this window, and this was the best of the photos I took. I love the contrast between the bright colours of the reflected sunset, and the dark colours of the corrugated iron of the building.

This is a view of the sunset yesterday, taken from the patio of a friend's house up on Mount Nasura, and looking north-west (Perth city is just out of view on the right hand-side).

A chain link fence with barbed wire provides a distinctive silhouette in front of a sunset sky.

Comet McNaught was discovered by Robert H McNaught on 7 August 2006, and was the brightest comet in over 40 years, being visible in the Southern Hemisphere in January and February 2007.

I can remember the excitement when Halley's Comet, visible every 75 years, was in our skies.
Because comet viewing is a rare occurance (there's not too many comets that are visible to the naked eye), I wanted to be sure to capture some photos of Comet McNaught.
