110615_173424_6154744 The Bridge Of Lights (Wed 15 Jun)

Pyrmont

There's something screwy about the Olympus' timekeeping. According to this file's EXIF, the "Date Created" is 15 June 5:34:24pm yet the "Date File Modified" is the same day, 4:34:24. It's hard to see how a file could be modified an hour before creation (and in June Daylight Savings Time has no effect) but it could explain why shots taken on the Olympus often end up in the wrong folders when brought into Bridge CS5.

However I'm fairly certain that the 5:34pm time is the correct one. It's hard to relate to now, writing as I am from the vantage point of mid summer some 6 months later, but it's entirely possible for it to be this dark, that early. Sunset for 15 June was 16:53, which is as early as it got (from 5 to 19 June) during CY 2011.

This shot is a ground level view of an illuminated walkway which leads down to a pontoon dock on the eastern side of the anachronistically-named Darling Island in Pyrmont. (It ceased to be an island many, many years ago when the causeway was filled in, and even back then it was only an island at high tide.) The dock is generally used as a departure point for pleasure cruises (which, to my way of thinking, is an oxymoron) around Sydney Harbour. The lights at the far end, reflected in some of the rain puddles, are from the office buildings of North Sydney, on the other side of the harbour.
