Sydney City Christmas tour : December 18 2024

in Actifit3 days ago

A cooler day after the shocker from yesterday. Still feeling the effects of the heat and humidity. Had it in my head to go into the city to do the Christmas tourist thing. Spent the morning doing investing accounts and the weekly investing post

Went into the city after lunch - took the Metro to new Martin Place station as the start of the tourist walk

View of Sky Tower from the station entrance

Photo theme for the day - up high - Westpac Bank

Cafe Paradiso in MLC Centre where I first met my wife face to face

Martin Place Christmas tree

Two views of Bank of New South Wales bank

Tram to hide the people on the ground level

Walked through Strand Arcade from the 1880s

Another Sky Tower view

Using the tram to highlight the old buildings

Walk through the Queen Victoria Building is a must for the Christmas tree - and the clocks

Clock on the other side

Always a stop at hobby shop to see the model trains - like the name of the station - Doonuthin

The tree does not start from the ground floor - some Aboriginal city/tree shapes

The front of QVB

Queen Victoria in front and 2 Park Street behind - site of my last ever office building

Walked down to Darling Harbour to meet up with my wife - front on photo of Westin Hotel - like the wings of a butterfly

Cockle Bay Wharf stork (brolga) sculpture

It is Christmas - and the W behind

View from Pyrmont Bridge to Barangaroo and two Manly Fast Ferries

Maritime museum statue with James Craig masts and Barangaroo behind

Been meaning to take photos of this wooden boat in front of my wife's office for a while

We stopped for a beer in the coffee shop - Christmas tree in the lobby

Good to get a lift home

Dinner: Pasta with chicken and chorizo and a touch of tomato - worked well

What impressed me more is the perfect reflection on the sky towers, it's like a mirror, it's beautiful, I don't get to see that here... But I guess birds smash on it?

I do not often go into the city. Have lived on the edge of big cities all my life. The looking up is about looking for the escape out. The big blue always works for that

The sky tower looks very tall mehn
That’s awesome!

The tower is 309 metres. An interesting number as that is the same height as the ride I do from Cowan Creek to where we live. Could take an elevator if there was one

Wow
That’s fantastic

Sydney city is very beautiful and the buildings are very smart. It is a clean city. Amazing photography
