The sun sets over Canada Bay, looking eastward towards the city. I love the colours reflected in the water.

A picture of a picture... one of my favourite murals in Sydney at (and of) the heart of Summer Hill.

I can't remember the last time I went up Sydney Tower, formerly AMP tower, formerly Centrepoint Tower (and the name I still know it by) - but I suspect it mightn't have been in this millennium. Today, though, it was absolutely gorgeous, and we could see out west all the way to the Blue Mountains of the Great Dividing Range (I love the literalism of Aussie names.) In the foreground lies Darling Harbour, and, if you look closely enough, the familiar clothes-pin hinges of the Anzac Bridge further back from that.
Anyway, the best thing about the Sydney Tower observation deck is that it's round - hence, you can get the most out of your visit by just going around and around as I did - just a few more windows, just a few more windows... until you've spent the better part of your morning up there. I'd also recommend getting some coffee and cake on the deck below, where you can keep soaking up the view with a nice cuppa.
This is My World Tuesday.

A moment of quiet reflection at the Bay Run (well, I call it the Bay Walk when I'm feeling contemplative) this morning to show off the beauties of our waters and refresh my weary traveller.

My ten-month absence from home makes me notice, and appreciate, changes in my surroundings, a whole lot more, these days. I took this on my way to the local library, somewhere I hadn't been for a while.Funnily enough, the bikes reminded me of the racks in front of school, back in Chiang Mai.

A dinner of tapas with my friends and support crew. Not sure what those two specks on the table are. Maybe crumbs from the pita bread, which we devoured in abundance. What a grubby lot we are :)

Okay, I'll admit, it was a bit of a do-nothing day today. Ran a few errands - snapped this one from my car at a set of traffic lights, to catch a bit of the blue sky today.

A lovely skyscape just outside the Newington Armory Cafe, a lovely little place tucked away by the water that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to find again.

Must not salivate on keyboard, must not salivate on keyboard...One of my great passions is reading, and this is my favourite bookshop: Berkelouw's, in Leichhardt.

I'm waaaay behind on these posts, because I'm snowed under getting ready for Thailand, but here's a photo I couldn't resist posting. The light was so bizarre yesterday, the rainbow so vivid and the difference on either side of it so marked, that it was truly astonishing.Bunnings isn't a perfect counterpoint for it, but hey, it is what it is!

Another walk in my local park. I loved the vista of the sky at close of day.

This is another not-so-good picture taken by my not-so-good eyes as I was being chauffered back from another medical appointment. I could see the gorgeous colour of the last of the sunset, but couldn't focus or aim properly!

Doing a bit of a series of churches at the moment, it seems. This is Summer Hill Anglican... or its silhouette, anyway.

A lovely little pizza place in Leichhardt, just up from Bar Italia. Wish I could remember its name. (I'm terrible at things like that!)I thought the curtains looked theatrical, and my mind was full of Hamlet.

Well, it wasn't quite the weekend weather I'd hoped for - it was blustery, grey and windy instead - but this paint shop definitely put colour in my day.

A poem should be equal to:
Not true
For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and a maple leaf
For love
The leaning grasses and two lights above the sea...

I find the Burwood Westfield carpark quite picturesque as far as, well, shopping centre carparks go :)
