Spyderco Around The World Passaround

[Th232]

There's been an around the world passaround happening on BF, and the knife's now down in Sydney.

My pics aren't that great, but here they are:

Luna Park (personally, it's looking a bit down because it wasn't tall enough to go on the rides)

Nice pics Will.

I have a feeling I might be next in line on that pass around. You picked some great places for the back drop.

Indeed you are, got your address sitting here in my email.

Next up: St Mary's Cathedral (assuming no nkp interference), and the Botanic Gardens.

Guess it wasn't easy to take the pictures and you caused a stir sometimes :cool: Thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful shots there Will!!! Thanks for sharing...:D

Surprisingly, not so far. With the exception of the Luna Park shot, all of them were in areas with rather few people who could see what I was doing. The one with the fishing rods in view, well, they were fishing.

The cathedral though, that one's inner city, so we'll see what happens.

Great shots Will !

Keep up the good work. More suggestions on locations coming your way in the other forum ;)

Good luck and hope I don't see your mugshot or Franks in the papers next week :)

Nice pics indeed, on the second last it looks kinda scary... like close before falling into the water... :eek:

And more:

Day two was done in the city, although due to some issues with knife locations, the knife is very small in some pics.

One of the Supreme Court buildings (this might have just been me being a smartarse):

There was some security at St Mary's Cathedral, so I didn't manage too many shots. Spyder is on the right bench, in the middle:

And another:

Clouds came in, unfortunately the only other shot I took of Centrepoint Tower was even worse:

I can't for the life of me remember what this building's called:o:

A fountain at the Botanic Gardens (stupid me forgot to take a shot from the front). The Spyder is actually that black and white thing in the middle of the fountain rim:

This was taken from a spot in the Botanic Gardens:

City skyline from just a bit south the previous location:

One of the ponds in the Gardens, and some of the city behind it:

This photo is of Government House. Got there just after it closed to the public, so that was as close as I could get. Next to the gate is a guardhouse with a police officer in it. Now, what kind of idiot would take out a knife and take photos of it and Gvt House, knowing full well there's a policeman a couple of metres away? Well... actually, me...:o

Very true. What isn't seen is the fact that there's another 4 or so metres of pavement, that railing just divides two levels of pavement.:D

Now, the latest photos... err... no railing.

Great pics Will.

The spots chosen really show off Sydney to our fellow Spydie collectors. I love the one in front of the Supreme Court, it appeals to my sense of humour :D .
