 1 pm between Melbourne & Sydney there was a very weird sky due to bush fires in New South Wales & Victoria (NOT photoshopped). |
 Woke up in Sydney. Took taxi from White Bay to Circular Quay, then ferry to Manly Beach. Passed Opera House (of course). |
 Usually sunny Sydney was overcast & smoky due to the bushfires. |
 Passed HMAS Sydney memorial, Bradley Lighthouse & a buoy |
 Opera House, Bridge, HMAS Memorial, Bradley LH |
 Fishing was going on at the Western Channel Pile lighthouse |
 First look at Hornby lighthouse |
 This LH has electricity. Think this is Robertsons Point. |
 Sydney Opera House with Fort Denison |
 Luna Park Sydney from the ferry |
 At Watsons Bay we got fish and chips. I liked Watsons Bay better than Manly. |
 By late afternoon it was still smoky & hazy. |
 Opera House. I brightened the picture a little. I don't do much photoshopping, but couldn't stand this picture as taken. |
 Unusual buoy |
 Hornby lighthouse |
 Candy striped Hornby with lots of rocks |
 Bradley lighthouse close up |
 Passed Admiralty House. Photo by Howard. |
 Back on land, we walked over to the Opera House |
 When you see the Opera House close up you notice it has a yellowish cast |
 We didn't tour it, but I walked around it. |
 And used the cool restroom. Where does the water go? |
 Think this is the ferry building. Beautiful. |
 City ferry at Circular Quay |
 Cape Bowling Green LH relocated to Maritime Museum |
 At Circular Quay, shopped a bit, watched a man have a seizure (ER personnel came PRONTO), watched a busker. Photo by Howard. |
 Ship left Sydney at 5 from White Bay. Heard commotion when approaching Bridge. 7 people were doing the Bridge Walk. |
 Lots of ways to shoot Opera House. Here's Howard's take. |
 Opera & Bridge photographed from deck 5 as we left Sydney |
