Sydney Australia

 


This is the view from Sarah’s balcony in Sydney showing the city centre and CBD (Central Business District) where she works.  Her commute from home takes her about fifteen minutes on the train.  She took the photograph with her phone and then did some artful editing; I think it’s quite a stunning shot.

A few years ago I had a meal in the revolving restaurant that you can see perched at the top of the tower; the views were spectacular.

Sarah (my eldest daughter) lives in Newtown, a lively, bohemian district with lots of bars, music and eateries.  A very different environment to rural Wiltshire where she was born and bred.

  1. Yes, rather different to Chippenham station... not least the blue skies. But then Wiltshire - and Wales where I live now - both have their delights too.

    1. I don't miss Wiltshire too much, it has become too busy and crowded for me. Almost impossible to find quiet roads for cycling.

  2. I heard about terrible floods in the area at the moment. Hope not where your daughter is

    1. Luckily Sarah was safe as the city centre was not affected. Low ground and areas next to rivers in the suburbs were badly hit.

  3. Fabulous photograph, like it a lot. Yes, stunning. New buildings with old and a tree, the tree is very important.

  7. That is a great photograph. Sarah lives in a vibrant city. She found her niche and you have a wonderful place to visit...when we get to the other side of Covid. The revolving restaurant with panoramic views must have been a great experience.

  9. What superb photo - the sky is quite incredible, and worth painting. Interesting how a photo can be manipulated into something so spectacular.

  12. Yes. A stunning picture. I think I can see that God fellow up there peeping out from behind the golden clouds.

    As for bohemians, they should send them all back to bloody Bohemia!
