  2. How I would love to be near a coast right now! Our weather is crazy here in the South - sat with my son Sunday looking outside and saw it rain and snow in the same minute! Drizzled and then literally turned into HUGE flakes of snow then back to rain within 3 5 minutes. Beautiful pics as always.

  6. This is a wonderful view, Jim. Sydney Harbour must be a beautiful place to visit.

  8. I love that area, Jim. I have done a history course on it and have another one coming. The first one focussed on Cadman and the next one will focus on Macquarie. I have my fingers crossed that I will be lucky in the ballot to go down the Tank Stream.

  9. That sounds really interesting Julie. I noticed quite a few tour groups around The Rocks on my recent visits, learning about the history. Good luck with the Tank Stream ballot.

  19. Do they still use the jetty? Must be really old since they are made of jetty.

    Have you heard that we are trying to beautify our water front in time for the World Cup?

  20. Old and modern in the same picture. But it looks good.

  21. Ann, the Campbells Cove wharves are still used but access to the wooden one in the middle of the cove is restricted. I featured a couple of shots a few weeks back of the tall ship which departs from one of the wharves here and water taxis use them too.

  26. This shows such interesting architectural contrasts: the old church, newer soaring skyscrapers, and the quaint row of warehouses in the foreground. Very captivating! Thanks for visiting my WW.

  27. I love this - old stone buildings and faded wood, two of my (many) favourite things.
