While in Sydney Australia I would often go walking around the central
park there in the center of the downtown area. It was right across the street from the Marriott where I
was staying.
    At night the huge fruit bats would come out and fly around the park. These
things were quite large and a little creepy. But they were so fascinating.
    I took photo after photo trying to catch a shot of them with the flash
which was very difficult in the dark since I couldn't actually see anything. I never
did get a real clear shot but I was actually able to catch a few images of
them in the air.
Here is one as it flew by.
