Harbour Bridge & North Sydney

Today Alex and I took a stroll over the Harbour Bridge to North Sydney. There are some great views of the Opera house to be had from the bridge, however walking along it feels like being in some prison owed to the security fencing to prevent suicides, one presumes. There were signs along the bridge stating it was an offence to climb on the bridge and that the maximum penalty was $2200. Surely the maximum penalty would be death?





To me, the north shores of Sydney offer the best views of the city, with skyscrapers flanked by the two iconic structures of the city. It seemed something of a hidden secret as the north shores were suprisingly devoid of tourists (with Alex and I being the exception, of course). There we sat for half an hour taking in the what must be the best vista in Sydney.









This evening was spent sat in front of the Opera House watching the finals of the mens tennis live from Melbourne. Several thousand people turned out to watch the match making a great atmosphere. And what better a setting? As the sun slid from the sky the city stood out silloueted against a fading light. A shame really that I did not RTFM throughly before leaving as I had no idea how to make use of it to achieve the best photos given the light conditions. Never mind. Practice makes perfect I guess.









Walking back from the tennis I happened upon some furry friends having a late night snack on Macquarie Street. Two Possoms happily eating away and quite content with three or four of us to take photos whilst they did so.





And thus concludes my 11th night in Sydney : )
