Fruit bat flies over the Sydney skyline at dusk

A fruit bat flies over the Sydney skyline at dusk December 31, 2010. The bats, also known as Flying foxes, are considered a pest by some and various efforts have been made to move thousands of them from their roost in Sydneys Royal Botanic Gardens where officials accuse them of killing historic trees.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment as a fruit bat gracefully soars over the enchanting Sydney skyline at dusk. Taken on December 31,2010, this image showcases the beauty of nature intertwining with urban cityscapes. The fruit bat, also known as Flying foxes, is depicted in silhouette against the backdrop of skyscrapers and buildings. Its black color stands out against the vibrant hues of orange and red that paint the sky during sunset. The lone bat represents freedom and independence as it navigates through the open space above the bustling city. While some consider these bats to be pests due to their impact on historic trees in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens, this photo reminds us of their undeniable presence in Australia's natural landscape. Their flight symbolizes resilience and adaptability amidst an ever-changing environment. The composition of this image is truly remarkable, showcasing creative use of light and shadow to create a picturesque scene. With no people present, it allows viewers to appreciate both the architectural marvels of Sydney's skyline and the untamed beauty found within nature itself. Overall, this photograph by Tim Wimborne encapsulates a harmonious blend between wildlife and urban life while highlighting the breathtaking allure that can be found when we take a moment to admire our surroundings at dusk.
