Circular Quay
This is where it all starts at Sydney Harbour, Australia.
The Opera House is on the left, the Harbour Bridge is on the right. And as you come in or out from the harbour, this is what you see. It really is a spectacular city! (I even got my clock tower!)

Remember it well - ferry to Manley from here? Sydney is a really attractive city, enjoyed my stays there.
Ginnie: I'm confident we saw Manley Bay, Mike, since we took a ferry cruise all around the harbour, but I couldn't tell you which one it is! I may even have a photo of it, who knows. It's a fabulous place, isn't it!
Very different angle to a well known location. I like the lines and different heights of the buildings. What clock tower?...Ohhh.
Ginnie: What surprised me most about the city center, Ken, was how compact it is, with no room to spare. This image reminds me of that aspect. Thanks.
nice angle...Sydney is beautiful town.
Ginnie: It really is, Bram! Thanks.
It's just a collection of buildings...but, you take some very ordinary views and turn them into beauty. What a great shot with the water, boats, buildings, beautiful architecture, and I just love how you captured the clock tower in the center!
Ginnie: That clock tower was the jewel in the crown, Bob! Sydney is such a compact city, utilizing every inch of space well. I was very impressed. Maybe one day you will get to see it with your own eyes?!
Uniquely Ginnie-esque view of Sydney.
Belly lice.
Ginnie: Thank you, Ray. I will never forget it.
I really like show square the building look in this shot. Looks like a fun place to explore.
Ginnie: Sydney was established in 1788, Brian, so it's like our big cities in the States...not that old. Not like the European cities. I loved seeing it with my own eyes.
You've managed to include so much in one small frame. Very nice.
Ginnie: I was most impressed by how compact the city is, Sherri, packing so much into every square inch, it seemed. You would love it.
A 'normal' street view get turned into a great composition of 'things' to see...how many do you have in this series, 3 more to go Prachtige foto en ik denk goede herinneringen.
Ginnie: I would love for you to see this with your own eyes, MLMA. I guess I'll just have to take you!
tout en verticale aisni c'est très beau
Ginnie: The whole city seems to rise up to the heavens above, O-P. A bit of heaven on earth, I guess you could say.
Am wondering when they will build a skyskrape church !! Really different way of life compared to european countries ... architecture comes from history.
Ginnie: I just checked, Martial, and Sydney was established in 1788...about the same age as our United States. So in that regard, it's a very young city compared to Europe. You are so right.
The clock tower that once was the tallest building in the town, and is now dwarfed by offices and appartment buildings. There is also a station.
Ginnie: You are so right, Wim!
You see that Sydney is a pretty modern place Ginnie
Ginnie: Modern and very young, just like the United States, Chris. Nothing like your Great Dames of Europe!!
Impressive Ginnie
Ginnie: It really is, Bill. I'd go back in a New York minute!
This reminds me of blackdog and his jenga.
Ginnie: I just Googled Jenga, Chad...and think it's probably a game I would love:

You framed so well the clock tower in this pencil shaped building Ginnie!
Quite a spectacular capture.
Ginnie: You'd love the city, Richard, if you've never been there! Merci.
Well done Ginnie, l have only been there once but you make it look so much better than l remember
Ginnie: You're very kind, Tony. I was totally impressed with it all and was glad we were there for a week...before we drove to Brisbane, YOUR fair city!
Fantastic composition. There is sooo much packed into this shot, could look at it for hours and prob still miss something
Ginnie: The city center was exactly like that, Clare, packed to the hilt with so much to see. You'd love it.
Yes I see the clock tower. Really nice angle on this when one often see the opera house and/or Harbour bridge on photos. I have a email friend who's parents live near the Harbor bridge. They always spend New Years Eve there to be able to see the fireworks at midnight. I have seen her photos and it's magnificent.
Ginnie: I can see why my nephew and his partner love it there. It's a fabulous place on Earth! Thanks, Frida.
IT is a very busy spot at peak hours of the day.Good Capture
Ginnie: I can just imagine, Vintage! Thankfully, we missed those moments!
Old and new blended. Just think that clock tower would have been the tallest building at the time.
Ginnie: Exactly, Aussie. It really is a young city, of course, like our United States, and so seems so very modern compared to Europe, as you know.
I've never been to Australia, but have always thought Sydney would be a good place to visit. That little Victorian looking clock tower is dwarfed by the modern buildings!
Ingrid
Ginnie: Save your pennies, Ingrid, because it is a city that does not disappoint! I wish it for you and Mike to see some day.
The one day I was in Sydney it rained, but the harbour trip was still worth it. A day to remember indeed. You are so right it is a spectacular city.
Ginnie: We were there for a week, Les, and it rained every day! BUT at least there were a few let-ups when I could snap a few pictures, for which I was thankful. I loved all the moods the weather afforded.
A mix of new and not so new buildings work well together here Ginnie, and it had to be in this format.
Ginnie: Being established in 1788, Brian, makes this a very young city compared to your European Grand Dames. It's more like our United States. i loved the feel of the place. You would have a heyday there!
Three more to go indeed!!! I love this shot mijn vreind. The buildings almost jump out of the picture. Fantastic Musketeer
Ginnie: Actually, Musketeer...3 more DAYS but only one more picture in this series, on Friday.
I will go there next year.. nice to see it all live then
Ginnie: You will love it, Chantal!
"spectacular city"-yes, you are right (I've never been there)! An impressive architecture ensemble- and I'm happy that the 'little' church can still hold its ground between all the scyscrapers and the clock says "for whom the bell tolls"...!
Ginnie: Yes, Philine, you are so right. The clock knows! It has seen what has happened over time all around itself...and keeps tolling!
A fast growing country like yours Ginnie..all learning from our mistakes!..Nice shot.
Ginnie: HA! Well, I'm guessing we/they haven't learned everything yet!
Good and very sharp... You've done quite a "plug" for Australia. Now I want to go there..
Ginnie: It's definitely worth a visit, Hamilton, if ever you can swing it! Seriously. I'd go back again in a New York minute!
Love love love this capture
Ginnie: You're sweethearts. Thanks!
I bet it is exactly how you say. I hope to visit it one day.
Ginnie: It is definitely worth the visit, Heather, so I wish it for you. For me it may have been a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Wonderful skyline/cityscape. Love how you've framed this.
Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Marcie.
A clock tower! The aussies have real culture
Excellent and strong detail.
Ginnie: Just what the doctor ordered, Louis.
What a snazzy (is there a word?) photo. I love how you cropped this. I hoped/wished to see it firsthand, may be someday.
Ginnie: Snazzy is a good word, Maria, as far as I'm concerned, and good for this city! You would love it...hopefully someday, yes.
just superb!
Ginnie: Ohhh, thank you, David. And BTW, congratulations again on your winning photo! That's gotta feel good!
i like the warm browns you captured in this shot.. the compressed perspective also looks great.. nice work!
Ginnie: Compressed is a good word, Rian, for this city. It still amazes me when I think about it. Thanks.
Spectacular sharp shot, Ginnnie! Now say those three words fast
Ginnie: HA! That's really a mouthful, Kay.
Postcard perfect! WOW!
Ginnie: You're a sweetheart, Sidney. Thank you.
It *does* look fabulous, even from the little snippet here - I love your positioning. So many awesome layers intertwining and reaching upwards and spreading out. Beautifully framed
Ginnie: You're very kind, Ian. Thank you. All those layers are almost on top of each other, just like that. It's really quite amazing.
very great uses of pattern in this shot, nicely done ...
Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Mohammadreza.
Nice image. Interesting perspective.
Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Curtis, for stopping by and commenting. I just visited your incredible website. WOW!
spectacular city comes with a spectacular shot. very nice framing here.
Ginnie: It is definitely a spectacular city, Liang. Thanks.
very very impressive.
Ginnie: Thank you, Padraig.
Been there done that, but didnt get a picture as good as that
Ginnie: You are very kind, Nigel. You know what this place is like then!
Wow very impressive cityscape!
Ginnie: It's a fabulous city, Andy. Thanks.
Impressive tower and I like the contrast with the "little" church
Ginnie: Merci, Zeb. It's fun to see a structure like that hold its own against the giants!
Nicely composed. I'm yet to vist the city and i look forward to the day i get the opportunity.
Ginnie: I do hope you can get there some day, Ade, because it's an amazing city on our planet!
Amazingly framed Ginnie. There is something about your pictures that I can't recreate, not even with the same camera
Ginnie: I could probably tell you exactly what I do, Thomas, but sometimes even I don't know! It gets to a point where I like it and then I stop.
Thank you for the series Ginnie. It's been great
Ginnie: You are so welcome, dear Albert, of course.
Oh... what a beautiful capture... I cannot wait until I visit in July! (am leaving myself on your post so I can view more of your Australia series tomorrow)
Ginnie: You'll love it, Victoria! I'll look forward to seeing YOUR images!
