Fort Scratchley - Newcastle

Today is the last day of my Newcastle theme, I hope you have enjoyed the trip around the city.

This is a photo of Fort Scratchley at night. This didn't come out as well as it could have because it was hand held. I didn't have my tripod with me. Must go back and have another go sometime.

Tomorrow I will be starting a new theme for a month. I think I will do a month of evening and night time shots. So this could really be the start of that too as well as the end of the Newcastle theme.

Like the lighting, great night image despite being tripod less :-)

A nice spot, on top of the hill. The view must be great from up there.

Thank you for the tour Babs, I have really enjoyed it. That is a tricky shot hand held. I always get upset when I forget my tripod. I really am looking forward to your evening shots next month.

[Pat Knowles]

Very difficult to get a decent night shot but the lights are sharp here so you did well Babs!

[Chris Stapleton]

[Jane Morley]

Looking forward to next months shots too!

@hermann @888rachel @karlow75 @bkbinthecity @happypat @cljs @chimfa @golftragic @kathiecb Thanks. Glad you all enjoyed the tour around Newcastle. This month I am going to do evening and night shots and then I may post pictures of other of our suburbs next month.

Beautiful night shot! Have never seen it at night - in spite of the many years I have lived in the area!

[Babs]

@angelat Thanks Angela. I don't know if it is lit all the time but we were at a performance of Music of the Guns at Fort Scratchley in March and It ended with the Australian Army Band playing Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture complete with the firing of the Fort guns and the pealing of the bells from Newcastle Cathedral I took a picture closer to the fort which I posted in March and this was from further down in town.
