City Wanderings



Yesterday I wandered the city for a while.... had a beer at the Warriors Return, my favourite Sydney pub....had lunch at a Bavarian restaurant in The Rocks....rode a ferry across to the north shore and walked from there home, so got my exercise :)
A couple of photos I sort of like are of (right)the bustle at Circular Quay... and (left)one showing one of the newer "fast" ferries, really sleek lines and comfortable seating.
Could have cropped those photos for better effect... but they were direct from the camera.... must keep that in mind.

Walk pt 5


My stroll took me around Lavender Bay. A mooring for some very nice smaller craft.
(Note) For anyone who's counting, this computer is one day and several hours out as it's on Vernon time, so all days and dates are one day off....who cares anyway ? :)

walk pt 4


Thought while I was at it I would include a not so usual view of the Sydney Opera House. It's taken from the North Sydney shore of course.

walk pt 3


Looks like she is going to hit the opera house , but just the usual illusion.

walk pt 2


Not just small craft use the harbour. Saw this big one heading under the bridge into the harbor. I mean BIG.

A morning walk


I went for a walk this morning along part of the shore of Sydney harbour. Very peaceful, hardly anyone around. Got some, to me, interesting photos and will try to get photos and text in some sort of relation. May have to do this as seperate posts.
The first is what was at one time the biggest hinge in the world. I supports half of one end of Sydney harbour bridge.

dust

Would you believe it ???? I arrive in Sydney and the city is half shut down with a dust storm. The sky is a pale orange all over. Absolutely devoid of features. And no !!!!... you ain't getting a photo of it lol.
