RHH's photos with the keyword: skyline

This was almost the last picture I took in Australia. After returning from the Blue Mountains I went to the roof of The Rocks Youth Hostel where we were staying and took some time exposures of the Harbor Bridge, the Opera House and Circular Quay. We were up early the next morning to catch our flight back home.

On the next to the last day of our Australia trip we walked the Harbor Bridge, from which this photo was taken, explored Circular Quay and the Opera House, saw some of the Botanical Gardens, visited Bondi Beach and walked the cliffs there. This was taken early in the day and shows the Opera House, Circular Quay and part of the skyline.

Taken from the lookout at Mount Coot-tha, this is the Brisbane skyline at night.

Mount Coot-tha is in the west suburbs of Brisbane and is a wonderful vantage point from which to see the city. We were several times to the lookout and cafe at the top of the mount and several times to the Brisbane Botanical Garden on the slopes of Mount Coot-tha. Brisbane was the focus of our trip to Australia because it was there our youngest son was married. His new wife is from Brisbane but has moved with him to the USA.

My apologies for not posting for several days. I've been busy repotting my orchids and cleaning my orchidarium - orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2013/06/rebuilt-orchidarium.html - something I needed to get done before colder weather and busier weeks arrive. This was taken last autumn on the Vancouver waterfront during a visit to Stanley Park.

In Explore February 17, 2010, #11. One of the spectacles of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver is this nightly light show with constantly changing patterns provided by people from all over the world and delivered over the Internet. Called "Vectorial Elevation," the display is considered to be one of the world's largest interactive artworks. Further information can be found at: www.ctvolympics.ca/about-vancouver/news/newsid=20625.html This picture was taken from the balcony of our daughter's apartment in the area of Vancouver General Hospital, and our son, Edward, has also posted a picture of this wonderful display at: www.flickr.com/photos/8686966@N02/4363488132/ . Viewed large even some of the stars can be seen.

This is the aircraft carrier Intrepid, now a floating museum in New York harbor.

In Explore October 2, 2011, #356. On Friday the 23rd of September the weather was beautiful and my wife and I decided to take the rest of the afternoon off and do a little hiking. We drove up the Mount Baker Highway to the town of Glacier and just beyond took Dead Horse Road (don't ask me why it's named that) for 12 miles to the trailhead for Skyline Divide. The trail is a very popular one but we saw few other people even though we were on the trail for about three hours. The hike to the ridge is about 2 miles and we spent a lot of time taking photos on the way up. The wild flowers were incredible because of the very late spring (the snow was just off this trail) and we took 2 1/2 hours going up. The top of the ridge provided spectacular views of Mount Baker in the setting sun. We wanted to stay for the sunset, but did not want to come down in the dark and the mosquitoes were ferocious at the top, so we headed down and were back at the car in half an hour, by which time the sun was down and darkness was descending. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/12/skyline-div...

Hesitated in posting this - can't decide whether it's really of any use, but the contrast produced by the changing weather was intriguing. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2010/12/around-vanc...
