A view of a cruise ship berthed at the Overseas Passenger Terminal looking towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is currently peak cruise season and there have been cruise ships coming and going at Circular Quay all week, such as the P&O Arcadia on Friday. The much smaller Lithgow, is the restored deck timber passenger ferry just arriving at the front. This view is from the viewing platform beside the Cahill Expressway, above Circular Quay railway station.

Awesome shot, Jim:)
ReplyDeleteFantastic view of the grand ship! Even the Harbour Bridge seems dwarfed!
ReplyDeleteCool shot of the bridge and the cruise ship. The ship does look huge. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the little passenger ferry! Perhaps not so little, but in contrast to the liner...
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW! Love the view and what a grand ship indeed! Terrific shadow shot for the day, Jim! Hope your weekend is going well!

Cruise ships are SO large when in port....love this shot. Hope that cruise went smoothly instead of the last two with Carnival. The comparison of the size of the shit to the size of the dock is awesome. A really cool shot. genie
ReplyDeleteWow! That cruise ship is enormous, totally dwarfing the old ferry. Great Shadow Shot!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
Ah - happy memories of our holiday there two years agoo!!
ReplyDeleteJim--what a cool size comparison with the Ship--the smaller Boat--and then the Massive Bridge behind!
ReplyDeleteI love this shot!
And all those people hidden inside!

P.S.
Sorry, I pressed too quickly...
Looks like a fun port to visit ~ ahhhhh, you've given us a mini vacation of shadows!!
ReplyDeleteThe Queen Mary was there during that dreadful downpour on Thursday just gone. Did you get any shots of it, Jim. I think it was its first time at QC having ony tied up at Garden Island on earlier visits.
ReplyDeleteThe ship is huge! We have ships on the Great Lakes but nothing that big.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, that cruise ship is huge, compared to the smaller boat.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of the Bridge and the city
Julie, I didn't get a chance to get down to Circular Quay on Thursday because of all the chaos caused by the rains. I was hoping it was still there on Friday but it had been replaced by this one.
ReplyDeleteAmazing - my whole sense of perspective is thrown off kilter!
ReplyDeleteThat's just a gorgeous picture!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! I visited Sydney last year and stayed at a hotel near the Cicular Quay and the Opera House. Loved your city!
ReplyDeleteWow! Jim, you were obviously lucky enough to be there at the right time. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Thank you for your beautiful contribution to Shadow Shot Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHouse's Shadow, have a great weekend!
The ship beside the bridge makes an awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteThose cruise ships are BIG!
Beautiful view! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteSensational shot Jim. Makes me wan to go on holidays.
ReplyDeleteIs huge. I think it is a pleasure to take out on the ocean on board of this ship. Have a beautiful day
ReplyDeleteI saw the QM2 from the plane when I flew into Sydney on Thursday afternoon, awesome!
ReplyDeleteThought I might go down there but was too tired.
WOW! So huge. Amazing shot
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot Jim, really gives you an idea of the size of these cruise ships, and as added eye candy, there's my most loved bridge behind.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photo, Jim!
ReplyDeleteThis bridge is a jetty for the cruise boat?
ReplyDeleteAnn, the bridge is actually quite a distance away from where the ship is berthed.
