110108_062649_14052 The Pot Of Gold? (Sat 08 Jan)

Darling Harbour Looking Towards Balmain

When the weekend starts to look so very much brighter than weekdays (compare yesterday's shot with this one), it may be time to do some vocational reconsidering. (Of course in my case that's in the process of being done for me with a system change.)

And if I honestly believed that the pot of gold was somewhere in that building, I'd be there baby!

Alas, I doubt that I'll find it in Balmain unless I could transport myself back in time to the 1970's when it was still a working class area populated in large part by workers on the since-departed docks around the harbour, buy up as much land as I can, and wait until it became gentrified and huuuuugely expensive as it has done over the last couple of decades.

(And no, I didn't fake this one; the intense rainbow really did zot straight down onto the sunlit building as shown.)

This is a really cool capture, I love rainbow shots. :o)

This is a wonderful catch - I guess someone did find gold at the end of the rainbow - most likely property developers, certainly not the original residents.
