[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A view from the Telstra telecommunication tower located on top of the "Black Mountain" in the Australian federal capital city of Canberra. Rising 195 metres above the mountain summit, it is not only a landmark in Canberra but also offers panoramic views of the city and its surrounding countryside from a viewing platform at 1/3 of the tower. Absolutely worth the $4.50 they ask for entrance.

Canberra is located a little more to the left/west, on the photo you can see one of the main roads leading to the city. The picture was taken late in the afternoon.

Really good view from the tower. The photo was probably taken early in the morning - long shadows of trees and hills look good. I think your choice of wide panoramic format works well for such kind of photo.
Some of the sky is overexposed, but I think there was nothing you could do to avoid it.
