Pacific Sun cruise ship
My driving job yesterday involved picking up 42 passengers from the Pacific Sun at Queens Wharf, dropping them at the Domestic Airport, then picking up another 32 on their way to the ship. The passengers were processed in the sorry-looking corrugated iron freight sheds that the city council thinks deserve heritage status. Weather was about 11 degrees, wind & showers.
Whoever designed the Domestic Airport layout should unload 42 passengers' bags in the rain. They would pretty fast put up some sort of awning to keep the rain off the airport visitors.
While waiting for the incoming flights, this sparrow decided the windscreen wiper would be a nice perch. It was nice to have some company. The photo was taken 6 inches from the sparrow who didn't seem to regard anything through the glass as a hazard.
