The National Museum of Australia. Located in Canberra, this museum is a stunning piece of artwork itself, both inside & out. http://www.nma.gov.au

I was attending a meeting in Canberra and noticed a photo of the museum all lit up in red at night. I figured I was definitely going to shoot a pano of that! So at dusk I was shooting the museum only to find no red lights. Disappointed & figuring they had gone "green" and no longer put the lights on, I shot some nice stuff after sunset anyway, and turned to start walking back to the car. I literally took one last glance over my shoulder, only to see the lights come on. Beautiful :)

Check out all the panos shot in the area here.

I have shot about 1500 panos this year, not including client work, so it wasn't easy choosing the best. Here are 2 of my other considerations:

Mona Vale, Sydney. Rock Pool at Sunrise: http://maps.panedia.com/?pano=6709&mt=s&z=18

Mt Kosiuscko, Top of Austraila: http://maps.panedia.com/?pano=6321&mt=s&z=18
