Default Sydney city skyline at sunset

I was just flicking through some older shots in my lightroom catalog and found this one that I had previously overlooked.

Taken from the Botanic Gardens in Sydney - a place I still find novelty in the fact that you can go and handle wild cockatoo's and rainbow lorikeets any late afternoon that you fancy

this is a great view - especially with the clouds and sunset reflecting on the windows. The grass parkland really tells us there is a quiet place to escape in a busy city.

A slice of heaven amongst busy city life. The setting sun coming through thick clouds and reflecting off the windows is spectacular. A carpet of grass laid out beneath the towering buildings giving people a quiet place to relax and escape for a short time. You have captured it all here so well in this great shot. TFS
