Pakour

This lad was practising some pakour skills under the Town Hall. I was watching him for a while and only got one shot as this was his last run.

Fear

This is a piece of street art glued to the base of one of the monorail pylons on the corner of Pitt and Park Street. A remote control. What does it mean?

The Great Synagogue

The Great Synagogue another of Sydny's Sandstone structure opened in 1878 can be found on Elizabeth Street.

Hyde Park

A view of Hyde Park and St Mary's Cathedral.

Lord Roberts Hotel

Unsure of who Lord Roberts was until I went to the hotel's website here. Sounds like a good bloke. This is a nice pub down in Little Italy, Stanley Street. I recommend the Chicken Parma washed down with a schooner of new.

Lloyd Rees

Here is a sculpture of Sydney artist Lloyd Rees, he was a vocal advocate of public art around Sydney. It is good to see him remembered outside the Town Hall.

Bridge Reflection

Here is a reflection from the front of the Sydney Opera House, it is a nice walk around here, there is always a marquee set up for parties.

The sky above Sydney

Here is the sky above Sydney, I wonder if the upswelling of clouds in the distance is the Blue Mountains?

Darlinghurst Courthouse

This is detail from a great old colonial building the NSW Supreme Court. Up along Oxford Street in Darlinghurst. The Darlinghurst Court House was built in 1835 and is still in operation today. Designed in the Greek revival architectural style like many of Sydney's important buildings.

Also back from holidays on the NSW North Coast just a few degrees warmer. It is always a dilemma about posting in advance - obviously bored the pants off any viewers with my Lions Club series. If I may divert from Sydney and post one of my North Coast pictures here is one of the many beaut sunsets.
