Happy New Year
I headed off to the Altona lookout — one of my favourite places in Melbourne. What a view of the storm.

I timed it to see the full moon rise. I was expecting it to rise over the Brighton area, and was astounded to see this. You can see the storm creeping into the frame:

I left before the 21:15 fireworks over Melbourne because it started raining. And it rained and rained and rained.
By the time New Years came around, there were fireworks going off everywhere. I climbed onto the roof and everywhere I looked there were fireworks. It was blowing a gail, raining, and fireworks in a 360° view. Lightning was lighting up the sky and thunder was crashing around everywhere.
What a performance! What a fantastic way to see in the new year.
Happy New TwennyTen!
