Parramatta River, sunset

This sunset view of the Parramatta River is from the inner west suburb of Drummoyne. The riverside suburbs seen here are Chiswick and Abbotsford on the southern side, with Henley on the northern side.

    Very nice capture. With my very limited photo skills, I have a lot of trouble with shots like this. So, chapeau ! Thanks for sharing this.

    Fabulous shot Jim. We recently caught the City Cat to Parramatta (first time ever). The boys had a fantastic time. We'd never seen that part of Sydney before (from the water anyway). We stopped at Rydalmere and had our picnic lunch in a park there as it was low tide so buses were provided for the rest of the trip to Parramatta. You've inspired me to get out and about in Sydney.

    Such a pale sunset, so unusual a take - I like it very much for the calming effect!

    Violet Sky, yes, the river is quite wide at this point as it heads into Sydney Harbour.
