HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Greetings everyone, hope you have all enjoyed your New Year celebrations; we had the most amazing night! Mother Nature was showing off on a scale never seen before!
From 9pm we watched a storm arrive over the horizon and as it grew darker the lightening started! It was the most amazing storm we have ever witnessed with the sky lighting up in pinks and purples and lightening shooting off in all directions every minute or so for about 3 hours!
We managed to have a perfect view of the storm from our balcony, which really was an experience we will never forget, the whole thing felt like it was being staged just for us!!
Chris managed to get some amazing pictures! Photographing lightening definitely tests your patience..we found you wait tentatively for the perfect moment to take one...decide to put the camera down for a minute rest and then immediately miss it by a second!! :) Definitely entertained us for a while anyway!
At midnight we went down to the waterfront to watch the fireworks in the pouring rain!
There was doubt as to whether it would take place due to the storm, however all went ahead and the Aussie's really did put on a good show for us! Lots of impressive fireworks and the finale was the most amazing gold shimmery explosion I have ever seen it seemed to last for ages-hence all the pictures :)
Hope you all have a happy new year & we will be in touch soon with our first 2010 adventures!
