Comet LJ from The Swan Valley, Perth 22/12

These were taken at work this morning. Eventually found one of the hotel rooms free that had the best vantage point!
It was quite eerie seeing the remnants of somthing that has just grazed the Sun at full pelt!
Cheers
Bartman

Great shots Bart. My favorite is #2. I would guess that the location is the Vines?
