Hello chums,
Back in Australia's bicentenary year (well, the year in which European settlement of the country had its bicentenary!), 1988, Sydney opened a monorail to carry passengers between the city centre and the newly-redeveloped Darling Harbour area. It has always been controversial and this year it finally closed. The last service ran on 30th June.
Being into this sort of thing (not to mention generally nostalgic by nature), I decided to do my best to record the system in its dying months. Most of the shots in good light are with my 645D. Some of the night time ones (and time lapse sequences) are taken with my D800E.
As there are a lot of shots - and they hang together as a collection - I felt it better to post a link rather than posting individual images. Hope this doesn't break any forum rules.

They are organised in the order of the line - providing a sort of virtual tour of the system.
