Sunday is Shadow Shot day! My photo this week is of a cruise ship sneaking out past the heads whilst a spider fixes up his web in the foreground amongst the shadowy leaves of McElhorne park. Yes, it's all happening!
I took this photo in summer which is traditionally cruise ship season here in Sydney. We have so many cruise ships come into harbour that they run out of space for them at Circular Quay and Darling harbour and the huge beasts have to drop anchor in the harbour itself. It's quite exciting!
Shadow Shot Sunday is a terrific Tracy of Hey Harriet meme! I strongly urge you to check out this weeks fellow shadow chasers HERE at Tracy's blog! If you'd like to join in, here are the instructions on how to do so!
Happy Sunday everyone!
The littlest spider and a huge cruise ship could not be more different in size and temperament. Yet both are equally imposing in this great frame! I haven't yet been on a cruise, although the scale of imposing size seems best to see in person! Nice harbor view. Enjoy the week!

Looks like a pretty day. Cool spider, I might not have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it!

Lovin' the spider action Sam! Even though I'm not a great fan of the creepy crawlies. It must be lovely to look out into the harbour during summer to see all the ships!
Hope you've enjoyed the weekend so far Sam. And have yourself a super dooper week ahead! xo

I do love to see a cruise ship! They occassionally come up the Thames-to Grennwich. There is talk of building a special landing place for them at Woolwich-though it might be a strange place for cruise customers to get off at!

I used to work in the shop at the Wellington Botanical Gardens. And on weekends when cruise ships were docked in the harbour, we were completely flat out!
