The Hunt for Lilac October (2009)

Been travelling around Sydney capturing the beauty of the jacarandas which are currently in bloom.
Here is a selection of some of the locations;

McDougall Street Kirrabilli



Uproar House



Sydney skyline from the Gladesville Bridge



Sydney University

The Jacarandas in flower are quite a spectacle...I have been meaning to snap off a few as well...maybe on a weekend soon. I really like the perspective in the last one, something original for a tree photographed so often.

Yes, me too! The intricate shadow of the tree adds a lot of interest as well.

Cheers

Driving my bus around I have been thinking of doing this but haen't had the time, maybe this weekend.

There is a fabulous scene of them on Oxford Street Paddington outside of Victoria Barracks

Cheers

A beautiful set of images celebrating the distinctive nature of Jacarandas in bloom. Love the first and the last.
I may be off the mark but i wonder if cloning out that rather distracting mast in the bottom left hand corner whelp that image achieve its potential? Just a thought!
cheers

These are superb #2 and #4 are the standouts for me - especially #2 since it's so hard to get a new take on the SOH.

that last one is gorgeous and nifty composition on the SOH shot
well done

Thanks for the comments guys

Yes I had thought along those lines marco. If I was printing it up I would definitely remove the mast

Had a look there today Rod...Wholeheartedly agree

The last one. Superb.

They are all excellent shots. I find it difficult to pick a winner.

They look lovely. Beautiful colours
