Sydney Harbour, sunset (Theme Day: Solstice)

A view of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge across Sydney Harbour from Mrs Macquaries Point, in The Domain. The winter solstice sees the sun set at its most northern point which from this vantage point is behind the Opera House.

      Not too bad at all. In fact, this year we're having a very mild winter.
