| Moreton Bay sunset |
Our most recent wanderings saw me enjoying a couple of days this
week in our old home-town, Sydney. One highpoint was a wonderful half day at the Art Gallery of New South Wales taking in
the Archibald
Prize exhibition, and a ‘highlights of the gallery’ guided tour. Del Kathryn Barton won the 2013 Archibald
Prize for the second time with her portrait of Hugo Weaving. Photos don’t capture the beautiful colours
and detail of this stunning portrait.
In the warm and sunny weather we experienced, Sydney Harbour
never disappoints. A stroll around the
Rocks area and the historic buildings at the southern (CBD) end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge soon gave way to a strenuous climb up
many, many steps. The effort was rewarded with
outstanding views across the harbour. An intriguing find was the plaque in memory of those who died during the construction of the bridge, and
another commemorating the historic Bridge Walk for Reconciliation in May 2000, tucked away on the ballustrading of the steps.
As satisfying as it is to revisit old haunts and favourite
cities, it’s always delightful to return to our 'backyard', in Brisbane's bayside. As soon as our girl's new parts are fitted (see previous post) we hope to be out on the water again, enjoying more fabulous Moreton Bay sunsets.
I love the Moreton Bay Sunset shot. No shots of Sydney?
