]]>Lunch Time walk to Victoria Barrackshttp://www.digger1914.com/journal/2009/5/11/lunch-time-walk-to-victoria-barracks.htmlDavid Toose2009-05-11T11:54:51Z2009-05-11T11:54:51ZI went for a walk to these historical barracks in sydney to try out my new 35mm f1.4 lens. It looks like a keeper!

On the way I found a statue of Trim the cat, who was Matthew Flinder's cat on his navigational trips in the 19th century.  The feather makes it look like he just had dinner.


 I took a few shots inside the barracks to give the lens a bit more of a run

 

 

There are more of these shots in the Victoria Barracks gallery
