Driving over Sydney Harbour Bridge on a cloudy and wet winter’s day in Australia. I have submitted this post to SKY WATCH FRIDAY!

great one for SWF! When we realize how perfect everything is we will tilt our head back and laugh at the sky... mine's up too hope you can drop by.

These are all nice shots and those with the sky above the city makes me aware that this is a large city I am looking at.

Lori said...

What a neat image of Sydney. It's still weird for me, seeing you driving on the 'wrong' side of the street!

Thanks PrettyLifeOnline. You said that last week and I'm STILL laughing!

Thankyou Pernille'sTingOgTang!

Sydney is a large city Abraham Lincoln, the largest in Australia :)

Hhehheee, I wasn't 'actually' driving or we would have ended up in the harbour Lori ;)

I love bridges. I like the pillars on this one. Beautiful pictures.

It must take a valiant driver to concentrate with hyper camera activity next to him!

HAHAHAA!!!! You guessed right Captain Modroom9 ;)

Hi! Love the shots. At first I was saying "How is she driving and taking pictures." Then I said "Duh. She was a passenger." It takes some time for some of us here is New Jersey to catch on. There appears to be some beautiful architecture and skies in Sydney.

These are all wonderful!

That was a nice virtual drive over the bridge with a big blue sky above.

I love this drive. Great photo series of such an icon and great blue sky.

Wow, I am a world away from you, in Mississippi in the States, so I was thrilled to get to see these photos. Thanks for the great shots... KC

Hello RamblingsOfAVillasGirl! I guess most visiting this blog would drive on the right instead of left hand side of the road, and sit left instead of right. HAHA!! That sky is our worst ;)

Thanks Sandpiper!

Pleased you enjoyed Babooshka :)

Thanks for your comment Me&MyPuppie!

Hhheee, the sky isn't THAT blue, we've been having horrible weather. That day it rained almost non stop. Thanks Suzanne:)

Thank YOU for being appreciative. Thrilled K.C :))

simon said...

thats depends on the car I am being offered the drive in- I am very fussy you know ;o)

Pat - Arkansas said...

Nice photo-ride. And, you're right -- the sky IS bluer on the other side. Neat!

Lilli & Nevada said...

Wonderful shots

Love the last shot!

You wouldn't knock back a ride in a Valiant would you Simon? Front seats are full but no seat belts in the back ;)

Hhehee, just like how the grass is always greener, Pat-AnArkansasStamper ;)

IslandRamblesBlog, we've been having rain and more rain also, so in this case the sky isn't any bluer on the other side of the world :)

Thankyou Lilli&Nevada and Ida! My pleasure :))

nice catch for Sky Watch Friday! earth and sky are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books. Mine’s up too hope you can drop by but if you already visited then thanks.

Caroline said...

Interesting to see a view from the passenger seat this time!

And the sky is definitely bluer on the other side...

Which side do you live on?
The blue or the grey?

Dragonstar said...

Really interesting tour. My favourites are numbers 4 & 6, and I like the view in 7. Good skies.

Tom said...

Thank you so much for this, I have seen many pictures of this bridge from afar.. now I can say I've taken a ride over it.. ;o)

Thank you for joining in with Sky Watch this week and helping to make it special.

Tom :O)

Thanks SnapCatch :) Interesting line you have this week ;)

HAHA!! I live on the GREY side Caroline! However when returned home, the sky was blue where I live and it had been raining all day in the city :)

Thanks for pointing out your favourites Drangonstar :) Think I like the numbers 4 and 6 the best also!

YES Tom! That's the idea :) Thank YOU for hosting Skywatch Friday!

Thanks for taking us with you across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.:)

The steel for that bridge came from my town - Middlesbrough, Dorman Long Steelworks! Nice to see it in such wonderful photo's.
Great series.

I love all the images, but the last one is my favorite - love the composition and that blue sky!

Thanks for visiting mine this week!

Kathie Brown said...

Wonderful shots.

Very beautiful shots!

My pleasure Chrome3D and LunaMiranda :))

I didn't know that Gary! It's certainly being put to good use on a daily basis :) Thanks!

Thanks for your comments Esnorway and Carole :))

Carletta, Sydney is famous for its 'blue sky' but she hasn't been performing her best lately. Thanks!

The arch shot is a good one and probably the most calculated in this series Kathiesbirds :)

Thanks Anita!
