Sydney. What's iconic about Sydney? Yesterday was about people. Today is about THAT bridge, and some of the shots I've made of it over the past three years. (That one in the bottom row with the lamppost is taken ON the bridge) of that other distinctive Sydney shape.And because it's Skywatch Friday, there's lots of sky in there to enjoy. We don't have too many cloudy ones, do we? According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology climate stats, we average 133.3 cloudy days a year, so 36.5% of days. Well, must be I don't point the camera at the bridge on too many of those days! (By the way, only 100 days on average - 27% - see 1 mm or more of rainfall; winter and spring have the lowest rainfall, summer and autumn the most. Get the full story here.)

Isn't that impressive. I hope you are very proud of your view on the city icon(s)!

Wow a lot to be proud of here
ReplyDeleteI love this birthday series, Sally. Yesterday - people, today the bridge - the bridge and blue! So much blue. Can't wait for tomorrow's collage.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Sally! Wonderful collages! Congratulations for your blog's birthday, 3 years, wow! It's always a great pleasure to visit your beautiful city. I want to go in Australia again!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous collage!
ReplyDeleteAnd happy birthday to your blog!
Happy 3rd birthday!
ReplyDeleteThree years already! Well done Sally! Thanks for the SHB collage, brings back lots of fond memories of course.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit in Avignon and to answer your question, no, these wooden crates are not strong enough to make billy carts, they can carry up to 5-8 kilos that's all. I've seen real sturdy wooden crates on farms and these can take up to 15-20 kilos of fruit, but I haven't seen kids using them as toys. The Nintendos of this world have taken over...
I like this collage and the one yesterday.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful places, so different from where I have lived. The Hamlet of Gordon, Ohio is where I was born and raised and it is how small hamlets used to be and this one still exists.
The Hamlet of Gordon
Wow what a party! No I really couldn't have ANOTHER glass of Champagne, that was fab! The cake too............ love the collage hanging in the hall... ;) Happy Birthday! x
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeleteHappy 3 years of you. Go on like this. Thanks from Kocaeli Daily Photos. Bye.
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteHappy 3rd anniversary for SDP!
Your compilation photos are very impressive. Kudos!
Two quite wonderful collages, Sally. Three years is a lot of effort. Well done!
ReplyDeleteSally, Sally Bo Bali, Banana Fana Fofally, Fi Fie Mo Mally, SalLY! Huge congrats on your third blogoversary. I particularly like that you split yesterday and today's views down memory lane into people and place shots. All I know of Sydney I have seen through your lens, and to some extent Nathalie's when she was there. Yours is a city I very much want to visit from all that I've seen in your shots. Thanks not only for wonderful photos, but some of the most interesting and involving commentary in all of CDPBlogdom. You are a peach and spread a lot of joy and friendship around the globe. Happy to know you! Here's to a wonderful 4th year chronicling your gorgeous Sydney.

Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI challenge you to do a bridge walk or maybe you have already, would be fun, although I don't suppose a camera could be taken along.doh
G'day Sally, sorry I'm late - even though I validated the news saying that you were celebrating your 3rd year anniversary in the CDP portal!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I know what it's like to post a photo a day for 3 years!! And I'm even more sensitive to your post that I now know what the Sydney bridge looks like.
A bientôt.
