A friend and I have just spent a wonderful weekend in Sydney, where we attended two thoroughly professional and highly entertaining 'Christmas at The House' concerts, and also sat for two and a half hours on a hard ashphalt path to see this
These were the views from our 18th floor window.
With very overcast skies and skiffs of rain, one can always dream of ocean cruises....
There are some iconic landmarks on the Sydney landscape that simply must be photographed regardless of the weather, ie.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge with one of the many harbour ferries.
The Sydney Opera House
and a little of all three!
Sydney cityscape
The stage of the Opera House Concert Hall prior to the concert.
But not every day is overcast and raining in Sydney. Sunday was beautiful - and so were these two views.

Oh, this is great...your weekend in pictures! At least some of it anyway. Sydney is looking very lovely and your photos are making me nostalgic.
Isn't it amazing the difference in color between the cloudy and sunny days? The blues in those last 2 pics are so beautiful.
It sounds like a wonderful weekend, Alice. I'm glad you had such a good time.
Sydney does sparkle when the sun shines. So glad you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful Harbour City.
Ooooh, a weekend away! I'm jealous!
Your photos are so lovely - makes me want to visit Sydney again soon.
What lovely photos of Sydney! I'm so glad you enjoyed your weekend. The Bridge and Opera House are iconic and you have captured them beautifully.
Merry Christmas,
Ann.
Again, what lovely pictures. One day, maybe, I will get to Australia - though before I started blogging it never occurred to me that it might be possible.
Happy Anniversary. You haven't changed a bit. (Well, not in the essentials.)
