An Afternoon Around Sydney Cove.

  


I spent the morning using up my free Paxton's 'Digital Camera Course' at the Menzies Hotel in Sydney. The course was run by Joe Moreno who, some of you may have seen, flogs cameras on the 4ME shopping channel on TV.
After the course I met Lynn at Circular Quay for lunch, and then we went for a walk around to the Opera House and through the Botanic Gardens to Mrs Macquaries Chair (also known as Lady Macquaries Chair) and then back to the Quay. I took this opportunity to try and see if I had picked up any tips from the course.

Back to the future.

The gulls were minding the seats for people with chips.

Resting on a shadow.

Have your photo taken on a motorbike.

Men in capes.

A bit of wind at the 'House'.

The Southern Swan, a magnificent three-masted barquentine built in Denmark in 1922,
sails past Fort Fort Denison, built from 8000 tonnes of sandstone in 1862.

The view from my cave.

Hope she says "yes".

A little bit of Cairns at Sydney Cove.

Looks like someone has upset somebody.

Red reflects.

My oh my.

Stairs and rails.

Posing and resting on the Opera House steps.

Ohhh, there's nothing like a wedding.

They make a lovely couple.

Trying to get the best angle.

The Opera House was popular today.

Everyone wants a photo to take back home.

When buildings lie down.

Lynn melts into the crowd.

Ferries jostle for position in Circular Quay.
