Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour Bridge viewed from Tarpeian Way in the Royal Botanic Gardens. The forecourt of the Opera House can be seen in the foreground along with the sun shades of The Opera Bar, on the edge Sydney Harbour. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened on 19th March 1932, so tomorrow it celebrates its 80th Birthday.

    Great capture, I do not think I have seen this view or angle of the Sydney Bridge. Looks wonderful.

    You must have taken this shot at midday, because the shadows of the people are very, very short!

    I really do like the perspective from which you took this picture. It is nice seeing the people walking around by the water. Also, I notice 2 planes flying over. So much detail in the one shot. Such nice photography. genie

    Magical Mystical Teacher, you're right. I took this shot during my lunch break so it was a bit after midday.
