Very nice setting indeed. Wish I had a backyard like that :P
Where abouts did you take these shots Mike, if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks guys.
Silvie, these were taken at Brooklyn/Hawkesbury River.. if you've ever headed north on the F3 you'll cross the hawkesbury river bridge - I took these from teh old pacific hwy looking east.
