Any idea what the first picture shows? Something to do with the Sydney Harbour Bridge? Something related to the Opera House, perhaps? Something symbolic of the ochre Outback, maybe? Have a look at the second picture now and you'll see that the images simply show the shadow of a pedestal fan, reflected on a wall. I shot these and about a dozen other frames about half an hour ago, after I suddenly noticed the shadows cast by the setting sun. It's been a hot day here in Melbourne, just under 38 degrees Celsius, but as any photographer will tell you, the setting sun moves unbelievably quickly. Not only did the colour saturation change swiftly, the position of the shadow also shifted rapidly. The first frame you see here was the first image I shot in the series. The second frame you see was the last in the shadow sequence. Time elapsed? Less than three minutes. Let me know what you think.

I think the gecko perched on the impossibly fragile-looking bridge strung over Ayres Rock gave it away in the first pic.
Good pic, though!
As in Gordon Gecko?
As in ``Green is good''?
