The Southern Swan is a tall ship in Campbells Cove at The Rocks, seen here preparing for an afternoon sail on Sydney Harbour. You can see another view of it towards the Opera House here and some photos of a theatrical spectacle called Fire Water at Campbells Cove at night, during the Vivid Festival last year here.
I have seen other tall ships in Nova Scotia but i have never been on one. It would be lovely to have a sail on tall ship!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I haven't been to the Tall Ships festival in a couple of years, but it was always a delight to go.
ReplyDeleteOpen water! Beautiful shots!!!! Wonderful photos! We're having fun in My Muskoka playing on the ice!
ReplyDeleteImpressive!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful ship.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to send some of my Ohio snow to Campbells Cove LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat ship, wish I was sailing there.
ReplyDeleteNice ship! Looks so nice blue in your pictures!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I haven't seen one for real, only the ones in miniature.
ReplyDeleteI wanna take a tour with this! Great shot.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great little area of Sydney, Jim. i like your shots of the tall ship. I will be down around that way this arvo, too. I wonder if they are having another "Vivid" this year?

What a beautiful harbor there and there is something so majestic about tall ships..maybe we all yearn to be exploring the oceans....Thank you for visiting my duckling post... Michelle
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to The Rocks for quite a while now. That is a beautiful ship. Great shots
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder about the Vivid Festival Julie. I might link my post to my Fire Water post at Campbells Cove during the Vivid Festival last year. I saw something in the newspaper recently about planned light projections on more city buildings for the Vivid Festival this year.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, love the tall ships and the harbor.
ReplyDeleteI love tall ships! We so enjoyed a tall ship festival and parade in the late summer of this past year. Wow! That was incredible! I love your photos of Sydney Harbor and I see a glimpse of the opera house! I am determined to see that with my own eyes some time soon!
ReplyDeleteIt demands also to have a desire for life and not only to know how to build a ship - a thought, nicely set in scene by your photography.
ReplyDeletePlease have a nice Wednesday.
