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 [...]

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.

Four days in Sydney and I only really got a glimse of what Sydney can really be like when the skies are clear.  Today was overcast but with some interesting cloud patterns.
