Sydney, Friday noon

This picture of the Opera House shows the view from the Harbour Bridge just after sunrise. From Shore School, where I have been staying, the bridge is just a short walk down the hill.



This photo, also taken from the bridge shows a square rigger coming into the harbor. Beginning of the skyline is just to the right.

I took this picture of the Opera House from the back deck of the ferry over to Manly, about six miles outside the city, a little town with popular surf beaches and a delightful town square, ringed by a set of palm trees in front of the Municipal Council Hall. I'm writing this through their free internet wireless spot in the park, a very nice civic feature.


This set of cloister style arches sits in front of one of the academic buildings at Shore School. The upper level porch and trellis serve the faculty lounge and academic offices of the school.

This view of the Opera House at night shows the lighted roof from the quay and promenade near the ferry terminal. Little restaurants and bars line the edge of this popular strolling site.







This panorama shot shows the waterfront at sunrise from North Sydney, taken in a little waterfront park just below the school and next to the base of the Harbour Bridge.
