Hi all,

No stars tonight, Sydney is covered by clouds and drenched in humidity. I took a late Australia Day drive to 'La Perouse' named after the French navigator Jean-François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse (1741–88), who landed on the northern shore of Botany Bay west of Bare Island in January 1788 only days after the first fleet of convicts arrived in Australia .

Sleep time now, its late or early

Thanks for looking

Yeah the moon was right beside the top right of the tower but the cloud cover was so thick and patchy that I couldn't get a clear shot!

La Perouse is not far from my place so I'm hanging out for a clear night for a starry background.
