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.

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.
