Let's head back to New York today and have a look at this shot taken by Kevin Hall. (click on picture for high res) Leica M9 with 50mm Summilux Asph at F1.4 This is what Kevin wrote about it : This Mary Poppins picture was a stroke of luck. Mary Poppins is an old story in at least this country of a governess who had an umbrella that whisked her around the place (if I remember correctly). I hit the focus on a Mary Poppins type girl in New York City with an umbrella while trying to shield my camera...

The coathanger is the nickname of the gigantic Sydney Harbour Bridge (obviously due to its arch from). Opened back in 1932, it allows cars, trains, bikes and even walkers to cross from dowtown to the North shore. I could not help thinking about the many commuter, travellers or migrants that saw the changing face of Sydney from its deck over the last 80 years.
