Dawes Point, fog signal and navigation light

This fog signal and navigation light is located at Dawes Point, close to the southern pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and across Circular Quay from the Sydney Opera House. It was built in 1906 and rebuilt in 1948 to provide warnings to shipping on Sydney Harbour.

    Oh, all that wonderful blueness, Jim. All we have here is not-so-wonderful whiteness.
    Thank you for sharing your beautiful blue scene with us.

    These are some amazing shots but there are so much more to Sydney that the famous white spikey roof and the awe-inspiring bridge. Lee Duguid is a Sydney photographer who takes amazing shots of non-tourist places: http://www.leeduguid.com.au/gallery/seascape

    Peter, I'm glad you noticed taht. I thought it would be a good idea to run this photo following on from yesterday's view in the opposite direction.

    The Opera House is one of your fair city's unmistakable landmarks. Surrounded by blue in this photo, its white "sails" really stand out!

    WATERY SATISFACTION

    Puddles of water and drops of dew—
    What does it take to satisfy you?
    A rushing river, a roiling sea—
    That’s what it takes to satisfy me!
