Melbourne Coffee
It’s time for a bit of Melbourne. My 10 day trip to Australia now heads a couple hours flight south to Melbourne where they seem much more obsessed about good food, eating out and a good coffee. No shortage of places to get a latte here and with so many establishments it makes the quality [...]
Colgate and Palmolive III :: East Balmain, Sydney
My final image of the apartment building which was formally a factory for Colgate and Palmolive. Lovely building and a lovely sky!
Colgate and Palmolive II :: East Balmain, Sydney
Second in a series of three images featuring the Colgate and Palmolive apartment conversion in East Balmain, Sydney. See yesterday and tomorrow for the other two images.
Colgate and Palmolive I :: East Balmain, Sydney
East Balmain is a residential suburb in Sydney which via the ferry system is very close to everything. I was staying in a B&B just around the corner from this interesting development. I took a series of three images on the way home from taking pictures of the Sydney City Skyline and Harbour Bridge.
Circular Quay Sydney :: October 2009
Sydney, on average, has about 23 days where the weather is wet, cloudy and generally unpleasant. I was lucky enough to experience 4 of these 23 days in October this year. However, one good thing comes from all those clouds… and that’s the amazing saturation of all the colours which you don’t see on a [...]
Watson’s Bay Area :: Sydney October 2009
Around the Watson’s Bay Area of Sydney. This is an area of natural beauty with beautiful walks along the coastline and stunning views of the ocean and cliffs. The view of Sydney from Watson’s Bay is the other way and you can view it here: Sydney from Watson’s Bays
More from Bondi Beach
Surfing, this time against the back drop of the waves and the local houses. I never thought it would look so Italian here!!
Clouds over Sydney
Taken from Watson’s Bay and looking towards Sydney, Austalia. The cloud formation was fabulous!
Bonbi Beach Life Guard
Racing with the waves are the Bondi Beach Life Guard :: Sydney, Australia, October 2009.
More Waves from Bondi Beach :: Sydney October 2009
Big waves breaking near Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia.
Waves at Bondi Beach :: Sydney Australia, October 2009
The turquoise blue waves against a stormy background look great to me! But it’s not quite the Bondi Beach I had in mind!!
Sydney Subway
After taking the Martin Place subway image, I got a little interested in taking other subway photographs in Sydney. A few follow. Extra points to anyone who notices something not quite right with this pictures, but what makes a big difference to it’s impact on the viewer.
Martin Place Subway :: Sydney
Pretty impressive sign posting going on in the Sydney Subway system. Another of these signs to follow tomorrow, but this is the last day of looking for “Martin” signs.
Martin Place Subway Entrance :: Sydney
There’s a subway here too :-) The name Martin is everywhere around here!! lol.
19 Martin Place :: Sydney
Maybe it’s just me who thinks this is great - but then Martin is my name :-) More Martin Place signs to follow…
It’s safe to walk towards the light… in an Apple Shop at least
In fact it’s encouraged!
I grabbed this shot in the Sydney Apple Shop. The Apple branding goes way beyond just their products and comes into everything they do. This staircase being no exception!
Night Time view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge :: October 2009
Looking onto the bridge from the Balmain East ferry entrance area.
Night Time Sydney :: Australia October 2009
View from the water edge at Balmain looking over the Sydney Central Business District area one evening in October.
Under the Sydney Bridge :: October 2009
Taken from a ferry looking back at the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Finally a Blue Sky with the Sydney Opera House
However, I still think the black and white version might be a better way to go with this image. What do you think? Comments appreciated on this one…
