Opera House and Harbour Bridge
The Opera House and Harbour Bridge are the two best recognised and most photographed landmarks in Sydney. I captured them here last week as I was walking along the foreshore of Sydney Harbour beside the Royal Botanical Gardens, near Mrs Macquaries Point. It was a beautiful sunny day with only a hint of clouds in the sky.

I like your page..you did a good job..thanks for nice photos..i like to see them always..
That's a million dollar view and a million dollar photo of it! Maybe the City of Sydney should pay you for it, non?
Always a wonderful subject!
It's a cliché, but it's a good one!
This picture is postcard perfect!
What clear picture!!, I can see the people on the bridge and the Luna Park on the right. Great photography!
Have a nice weekend.
That is such an incredible building and your photo is superb! Love those blue skies!! Have a great weekend!

That is a gorgeous shot! I never get tired of seeing those landmarks.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Happy weekend.
Great shot. Believe it or not, I've never seen them both like that.
Ah! The beautiful city. Bill's nickname for the opera house is "Sonya's workshop", as that is where our daughter, Sonya, works as a production manager. (kidding we're not proud)
Wow! Both Sydney icons in one shot, that's great!
One of the best of these iconic shots I've seen!
Terrific photo!
Have a nice weekend:)
Snap indeed. What a difference a few days make. Mine was just after the change hit last Saturday afternoon.
Very nice shot.
Beautiful pictures. I love the choppy water and the beautiful sky.
Beautiful composition!
I love how those few clouds mimic the opera house.
Great composition.
very beautiful! you captured both landmarks very well:) have a good weekend!
aaaah, the postcard shot. thanks.
What a coincidence. I was going to post almost the same picture but in black and white, taken in the seventies during our farewell trip around town. It is such a great shot to capture these two Sydney landmarks like this.
Beautiful picture! You have captured the feeling of Summer. I love the blue sky and blue water separated by the white roof of the opera house!

What a geometrical challenge for the sky, curves, lines, edges... beautiful set in scene.
A wonderful Friday for you.
Beautiful -- and the only picture I could have identified from your lovely city before I started reading your blog! Lovely summery day there!
I love that view and have been lucky enough to see it in person a couple of times. Brings back happy memories.
Postcard picturesque!
Iconic - what more can I say?!
great shot!
What a fine composition of these two world-famous Sydney landmarks!
Wonderful view and a pretty sky. Well done!
Wonderful iconic image--would that we all had "infrastructure" like these.
Dallas is supposed to get a couple of Calatrava bridges one of these years, and just got a new opera house, but I doubt if they'll ever symbolize this area the way yours do Sydney.
Looks like quite a beautiful day... I agree with Leif, what a million dollar view you have there! :)
Beautiful shot of the Sydney Opera House.
Perfect shot this one, the harbour bridge and the opera house... I had my wedding pics taken there but shame it was night time.... you should try take some shots from Kirribilli in one of the waterfront there, great spot
This shot makes me smile :) It captures the single view that says "Australia" on a global level. Too cool! All of your shots make me feel like I can take a trip to sydney without even having to get on a plane. Oh, and thanks for checking out my blog btw!
Your blog is full of beautiful places... Have to visit Australia some day
