I preferred to use the telephoto lens rather than wide angle, therefore I couldn't get the city and the bridge in one picture, so you'll get two pics.
Local children were playing football and people were walking their dogs in the park without looking at the magic being woven in front of them, they are so used to this scene every evening. I turned my back on the scene and saw......
this house across the road from the park. Wow! What a view they must have.
The sun slipped away .....
and the sky deepened....
providing a variety of canvases.
What a BRILLIANT record of the city at sunset. Wow to that house behind you. And the bridge at dusk. All so beautiful diane. Thanks for sharing with someone like me who only has a dusty landscape from my flat at the moment! Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteDiane, wonderful shots of Sydney sunset. You had a great view from the park. Gorgeous and colorful sunset photos!
ReplyDeleteYour good at this. Reminded me of the view I had from my office when I worked in the city. At this time of year when working late (as usual) we'd pause just to watch amazing reds like that unfold. Thanks for the memory.
ReplyDeleteSunrises and sunsets! What would we do without them for the rejuvenation they give. Ahhhhhh.........
ReplyDeleteA stunning sunset with the city skyline Diane. How beautiful is that?
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, WOW---that is an amazing sunset.. To see Sydney's skyline like that is awesome. What an incredible experience you all had. All of the photos are amazing.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a baby yet???

Lovely post Diane, Beautiful shots across sydney's skyline

ReplyDeleteSydney: I was born there during WW2
ReplyDelete- it is without doubt the most magnificent city in the World, the harbour beats Rio de Janerio, Brazil, maybe the second most beautiful city, which will host the 2016 Olympics, the third city in the Southern hemisphire to have this honour.
Unfortunately the "powers to be" ie: politicans and the subarban councils of Sydney have got major problems with traffic, "gridlocks".
Thankfully in Brisbane we do not have this problem - the BCC runs the whole place, whether it is good or bad, it is far better than the Sydney situation.
Yes, Grandma Diane ( recently) has shown beautiful photos from the best or the best of Sydney. I love the place - worts and all!
Cheers

What a magnificent view you had Diane, the sunset is stunning in each photo. I agree with you, the view from that house would be 'Wow'!
ReplyDeleteDiane, it was great to meet you and Bill at the Sydney Bloggers Convention today.
ReplyDeleteSydney - City and Suburbs
It's hard to imagine getting so used to such a view that one would take it for granted, but I know that happens. I sometimes pretend I am someone else seeing a familiar (to me) view for the first time.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about clouds, sunrises and sunsets is that they are always different. Flying back from Brisbane recently we were above the clouds as the sun was setting. Unfortunately my camera was inaccessible otherwise I'd have taken countless photos of the masses of billowing clouds all tinged various colours by the sun. I really didn't want the plane to land....lol.
I hope the people who live in that mansion appreciate their view every day.
You definitely covered Sydney in spectacular fashion. Great camera you have which I hope one day will be able to own for myself.
ReplyDeleteI know Dover Heights as I used to work there few years ago with a Jewish boss.
