To keep the City Views going, I took a round of new photos while we were out shopping between the holidays. This means that some shots will look familiar because I’ve already done this one year ago too, but this time I made sure to shoot from different perspectives and I will also include colour versions of each photo and a Google Maps reference in the links below the posts. We start our walk right here, in the inner city near the Forum shopping mall in the shadows of the highrises. I’m sure I’ve never done this particular perspective before – you can see two of the other highrises in the background, the shopping mall is just to the right and the fourth highrise is behind me.

Leftover cloud photography from last year – this is from Christmas Eve!

This is not really a good photo, but more an experiment I tried several times before: can a Canon Powershot SX1 bridge camera pick up Jupiter’s moons? Yes, it can – they may be blurry, but you can definitely see all four Galilean Moons on this photo made on January 1 at about 2:15am. Jupiter itself is grossly overexposed and the camera is not even able to resolve any detail from the planet, but it’s still astonishing that it is possible to pick up the Galilean Moons with it.

Halfway through December and on the 17th there
were still some nice-looking Chrysanthemum blossoms!
