Reflections of the Australian Hotel

Technically speaking, this photos has some issues, but I like it anyway.

I took this in Sydney, Australia, during our family vacation in 2007. We were wandering around The Rocks section of the city, which is a really old area of town at the base of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, when we came across this pub called the Australian Hotel. While my husband sampled the huge varieties of beer, I had some fun with my camera. This photo is looking over the bar. In the mirror, you can see me taking the photo, along with the rest of my family.

This is another one of my all-time favorite photos that I've taken. This is looking straight up at the ceiling of the Chapter House in York Minster, which is a cathedral in York, England. We visited in 2003.

Schmap!

Ever heard of Schmap? I hadn't until a few weeks ago. Turns out it's a digital tourism and travel guide. Kind of neat, with photos of popular destinations placed on a map for easy browsing.

Why do I know about Schmap? Because a few weeks ago they contacted me asking for permission to use three of my photos in their guides. No money. Just a photo credit and a link back to my Flickr page.

After some thought, I said "Yes"!

The new editions of the guides were published today. So, check out my three "published" photos:

The York Minster Chapter House Ceiling
The Rivercenter Mall along the San Antonio Riverwalk
The Bar at the Australian Hotel

Oh, and here are the handy-dandy widgets for the three guides I'm published in:
