All your pictures are amazing.
Congratulations!
I never have been in Sydney City, but it must be beautiful.
I am from Germany.
Visit my blog, sometimes I write there in your language.
Waiting for your comments in my blog, I just say you good night!

Michele said...

Wow.... I'm not used to seeing such buildings as I live here in the mountains with such teensy little buildings. This is spectacular and really awesome! Absolutely beautiful photos!

Love the way you've frames that skyscraper in cloud in the top photo.

Glad you didn't have an accident too...

Very nice and urban Sky Watch. So different from the surroundings at my place. Great! :)

Anonymous said...

We are lucky in Sydney because it takes less than an hour to be in the mountains or real wilderness Michele :) Thankyou!!

Heehee, the traffic was moving way too slowly for a prang, Caroline ;)

I also enjoy seeing the other urban skywatching images Ida! Thanks :)

You have a wonderful blue sky over there. Hope it stays that way for your weekend.
Happy Sky Watch.

Hello ShadowLor! DO IT! Take some photographs of your place and please don't tell me it isn't lovely there ;)

HAH, from a car DanielJSantos! :))

Thankyou Sandpiper! It's a habit watching the sky ;)

Tom said...

Pictures like this amaze me... I would be well out of my comfort zone in a big city.. ha! I prefer my building two stores high and a chimney smoking away on top...

Yours however do make great Sky Watch studies..

Heehee, I'm a lot more comfortable off the roads in inner Sydney like in a park which we have plenty of! A fireplace sounds good right now because it's COLD here in the Winter. Thanks for hosting Skywatch Friday Tom :))

Debbie said...

I love seeing other cities in this project! Were you in a convertible? Absolutely gorgeous skies and so BLUE!!

Glad you stayed safe!!

Gerald (Ackworth born) said...

lovely clouds though I'm not keen on tall buildings like these.

Brilliant blues! Keep them coming!

ematejoca said...

I was glad to see your comment on my blog. Thanks.
Are you photographer? Your photos are too good for a hobby photographer. Do you understand what I mean?
You can visit my blog while I am sleeping. It is funny!!!

:):):)

Carletta said...

That first one just keeps taking the eye up.
Both are gorgeous shots of a beautiful city sky - glad you shared with us.

I wasn't in a convertible but a vintage car DebbieinNC :) I'm glad I stayed safe too! The car doesn't even have seat belts!!

Thankyou AckworthBorn, that's why we're looking upwards, to see the lovely clouds ;)

Hi Albina! It's sunny TODAY!! I can't believe it!! Have a long weekend to take LOTS of photographs :))

Hhehhheee, most of my Blogger friends are asleep when I'm awake Ematejoca :) I have exhibited and sold portrait photographs but for now, photography is a hobby. Thanks!

Thankyou Carletta! I felt like my eyes kept going up when driving through the shadowed streets :)

Thanks TommyV and Petunia!!

Tony LaRocca said...

Take me down to Sydney City where the grass is green and the girls are pretty... :)

ematejoca said...

Tonight I am not sleeping.
I like very much the buildings of Frank O´Gehry. I intend to visit the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. He was also the architet.

I am looking of your pictures, and I am sure you are photographer. You know "the know how". An hobby photographer cannot shoot pictures like this.

We have other things in common. To-
morrow you will see, on my blog, what I mean.

Good night!

ematejoca said...

I am here again before I go to bed.

We have several things in common. You can see one of them on my blog.

Now I am going to sleep.

chrome3d said...

Sydney looks like a great city worth a visit. Thanks. In the first photo it looks like the building is steaming with smoke coming out from the top.

Anonymous said...

Where did you learn that song Tony LaRocca? HAHA :))

I have been photographing for a very long time Ematejoca :) You must be asleep by now!

Sydney is a great city to visit Chrome3d, I'd like to add these buildings aren't our best! Heehee, I can see the smoking building!

Thankyou IslandRamblesBlog!

vfm4 said...

on a clear day you can see forever...

Anonymous said...

True Vfm4! Think I'm suffering from sky blindness from today's excursion ... ;)

Anonymous said...

these are both fantastic - but I simply love the first one. so dramatic!

Shadow Lor said...

Oh it's lovely in a run down 'we don't use this anymore' kind of way.

ryn: i'm sure my heart tastes bitter and needs that ketchup lol. Too bad that cat can't find her way out of the sand mwaha

Anonymous said...

The first is a little dramatic Lingovise, heehee. Thanks!

Quaint might be the word you're looking for Shadowlor ;)

Ryn, I'm also sure your heart needs sweetening. Try some chilli sauce };-}

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...

WOW! Great sky! Nice rich color!

Love those clouds.

cool buildings, too.

Anonymous said...

Thankyou Mary Stebbins Taitt! I was skywatching on the road in the city today but the colours were grey and darker grey ;)

ematejoca said...

11.30 pm in Sydney!
Before you go asleep, I wish you a good-night.
I would like to see a photo from you of the Sydney Oper.
Perhaps you got one.
Best wishes from Düsseldorf!

It's 7.26am now Ematejoca! I took lots of Opera House photographs yesterday! However it's going to take a while to edit and sort... :) We just had a long weekend and I was away for most...

Shadow Lor said...

ryn: chili sauce, eh? I was thinking something along the lines of a little arsenic and quick silver.

Anonymous said...

Whatever pleases you the most, Ryn.

Shadow Lor said...

Pain pleases me MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

ryn: something has to...

Or whatever pleases Shadowlor MWHAHAHHAAA

Ryn: *sigh*

captain modroom9 said...

What a contrast the sky and the city are! That cloud looks like it's muscling-in on the city action.

Anonymous said...

Hhehee, the cloud might just be doing that Captain Modroom9! It covered the entire city this long weekend! Have tons of city photographs but no time to edit them ... *sigh*

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...

We were out on our motorcycles and blue turned to grey and darker grey and then to RAIN!

Such Lovely intense color!

ematejoca said...

I love Egon Schiele, too.
He is one of my most favorite painters.
I have no idea about painters of your country. Can you inform me a little bit.

Sydney: 11,35 am
Germany: O3.35 am
Cannot sleep.

Have a good day.

Anonymous said...

Heehee, I know that weather all too well Mary Stebbins Taitt :)

I've had a busy day Ematejoca :) Best you do a search for Australian artists. Even a "little bit" is a lot!

Ces Adorio said...

Yes, I like looking up towards the sky.

It's so much prettier Ces!

Fantastic are your pictures.
