Dawn of a new era

I’ve never been considered ‘an early adopter’, & so it’s only THIS year that I’ve gotten me one of them new-fangled phones with the cameras in them. (What’s next? Microwaves with clocks?!)

It’s not a great camera, particularly in low light, but one thing it does have: portability.

In today’s unexpected adventures, a photo of the Pacific Dawn docked in Sydney. Newly cleared of swine flu & finally allowed to disembark its passengers and (most of) its crew, it squats between office blocks above the backstreets of the city.
