720 Megapixel shot of sydney

This is a remarkable shot if you zoom right in you can see people having meetings in the office buildings and even the time on the clock.

Sorry cheesylion, was just on the windup :) Couldn't see the
clock that was mentioned either.

The clock is on the tower directly under the building with the blue triangle neon.

Sent it to a friend from Sinny.
That is a bloody fantastic photo. I will spend ages looking at it. The building with the clock & tower is the old "Adelaide Steamship company warehouse now offices & touristy shops. That is one of the buildings in that area I worked on for the restoration & alterations. The Building behind spire & to right is Regency Hotel (very expensive) The glass building further round to left is the Ocean Terminal on Circular quay, photo shows diners in "Jordan's" restaurant further round is Circular Quay with the ferry wharves with raised railway behind & topped by Cahill Expressway, you can see the cars tail & headlights in pic.

Opera house is just off left side of pic in no more


As I say its quite a fantastic picture many thanks for sending it to me

On that red road right of centre going away from us at the 2nd zebra crossing there's a guy with no feet. Sloppy bastards.
