What exactly is a "My City of Sydney" photo? Well, there's a story behind that, if you're interested.

Several years ago (1987), my friend Paul Klemes returned from a trip to North America. He naturally showed me all of his photos. When I came across a photo of Paul atop the Empire State Building with one arm outstretched indicating the panorama of New York City, and his mouth wide open, as if in song, I immediately responded (jokingly) "Myyyyy city of Sydneyyyy!!" (it's an old, tacky song). "How did you know that's what I was singing?" asked Paul. It was just a lucky guess, and we had a good laugh. I resolved that if I ever went to New York again myself, I would take a similar shot. Well, I did (the following year), but I didn't stop there. Over the next few years I've taken similar shots of:

• Paris
• Toronto
• Prague
• Berlin
• O'Callaghan's Mills (Irish village)
• Vancouver
• Lord Howe Island
• Hobart
• Canberra

You see, it's become something of a tradition for me now. So on this trip I've continued the tradition with the following cities (click on the previews to see the full-sized photos):

Kathmandu	And Greg's version
Khumjung (Nepal)	Lhasa (not available - non-digital photo)
Cairo	Jerusalem
London	...and again
Chicago	Jost Van Dyke
Potosí (Bolivia)

So now you know. The only city that I've resolved never to photograph in this regard is (you guessed it) Sydney.
