sydney harbor & botanical gardens



Sydney harbor and a view to the business district and the bridge with the opera house.
it looks cloudy and stormy but was actually super sunny and beautiful. what a relief from european winter...




the botanical gardens...



... took this pic for jan ... one of many weird animals i'm seeing here ... there's a bird that sounds like the baby in Eraserhead as well ... wasn't able to take a pic yet though ...




i thought i had stumbled on a scene from the Birds until Amber told me these are bats and there were as many as these in every tree i saw in a 360 degree radius! from where i was standing their bodies looked as a big as a standard european house cat. made me wonder how wide their wingspan is... apparantly they all fly together to another park every day around dusk... will try to get a pic of that ...



the necks in concert.... jet lag was making it very hard for me to stay awake ... but it was a nice concert anyhow ...
