AAtS - Research Trip

A photo of the Sydney Spire site (taken from the vantage point of the third major setting in the book).


It amuses me greatly that I will be able to claim lunchtime sightseeing trips on my taxes.

  1. Nice view. Very cinematic vantage point.

    That last comment had been not have been a reference to alien freeze-ray technology.
