Many thanks to everyone at 365 for your wonderfully encouraging support for my photography and honouring my photos by placing them so highly on the Top 20 last week. I am very grateful. Will try to get around to your pages tonight and tomorrow.

whenever I am away from Canberra and returning by road I always feel like I am close to the end of my trip when I can see the tower

that is a nice spot around there. I was driving through there tonight looking for a shot that never showed itself.

Here is a photo I took awhile ago from that spot.

Beautiful capture, Canberra is such a lovely place, the last time I was there my camera had been stolen so I was using my very old point and shoot and was very disappointed with the shots I got. Will have to go again at some point, so many wonderful photo ops!

It must be the film you have used but the colour rendition reminds my of 1970's photos. Nice.

awww look at you making my hometown look so pretty Peter. Hope you had fun at the marathon, i had to work but hope to get in there next year. Canberra is sooooooo beautiful in Autumn, my favourite time of year. Spring in Canberra is pretty too, but Autumn colours are so much deeper and sexier. Beautiful shot.

Congratulations on the Top 20 again! Your photos are wonderful, Peter and they deserve to be there! This is another lovely land/waterscape. Beautiful view!

Beautiful shot Peter- we have a tower around here as well called High Point. I hope to include it in my project some time this year. When standing next to High Point you can see 3 states at one time: New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. And like Black Mountain Tower, you can see it for miles around.
