Bang!
In 1906 the One O'clock Gun daily fired so sailors could set their ship's chronometers correctly. The firing stopped during WWII so as not to alarm residents but resumed in 1986. We almost jumped out of our skins at one!Sunday, June 22, 2008

The sky was blue today! I'll be out and about tomorrow if blue again and will catch up on comments and blogs in the evening :) Have a good weekend!
Oh yes, you are a day ahead of us, aren't you?!! Oh well, the drink recipe works whether it's Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, or Thurs, no worries :) Cheers!
...then how come the Opera House is still standing?
That's right Kareer Woman! It's a sunny Sunday this weekend :) Good news! CHEERS!! I had better stay away from the Harbour or might drown HAHA ;)
As you can see from the first shot, I was running away and missed to answer to your question Ces ;) HAHHAAA!
*flying out into the blue*
Another great series here Anon, thanks for the interesting info as well as the gorgeous shots....teehehe - I bet you felt that gun as well as heard it! :)
Give that Opera House a good blast! Yeah, yeah, do it!
Lovely photos, the rain may not be fun but it is delightfully moody in the pix! Have a good Sunday.
We may be going to the ZOO with our grandkids!
Thankyou Lavender :) I felt the ground under my feet shake and the sky up above vibrated! Actually, my youngest almost fell down some stairs with fright :O
Hhahhaaa, it WAS done Chrome3D!
Thanks Mary Stebbins Taitt :) You're going to have to put up with 'moody' photographs for another week while I edit this weekend's BLUE SKIED images ;)
I like all the people standing in the rain to watch it. Maybe they're hoping it's going to shoot the Sydney Opera House and blow it up.
I can't think of any other reason why they would all be huddled there Tony LaRocca! They might just be sheep... ;)
Hee hee Tony La Rocca's got his sights on your opera House.
But we've got the cannon Captain Modroom9!
