What a great HDR shot! Love the detail in the rocks and what a view! Those houses are very close to the edge of the cliff aren't they?
Great blog by the way

Thanks so much, Marc. On a train to Adelaide, we met an older couple who told us that for years they stayed at the Watson's Bay Hotel every Christmas season for a big fancy splurge, and that they had such fond memories of the place. We had a night or two in Sydney at the end of our holiday, so we stayed there.
Here's the hotel web site:

There's a terrific view back to Sydney from their deck, here:

and a little park just across the street called Sydney Harbour National Park. That's where this shot is from. Yeah, they ARE pretty close to the cliff, aren't they?
