Sydney: Post 1

On the approach into Sydney airport this morning, I had the camera handy and I caught this incredible light effect created by the position of the plane to the sun and cloud. If you look closely (click photo for larger size), you'll see a halo-like rainbow effect and the outline of the plane on the cloud. There's a specific term for this phenomenon - I'll look it up in my cloud spotters book when I get home!

Here's the view of Sydney Harbour from the hotel, including the famous bridge. Boy oh boy, I just adore this city.
