Sydney harbour I Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sydney harbour has been described as one of the most beautiful harbours in the world. A natural drowned river valley that was formed 6,000 years ago, it provides safe harbour even during the most vicious ocean storm. The famous harbour bridge has been photographed perhaps millions of times, but I never tire looking at it whenever I go to Sydney. In this shot I though the various ferry designs seen here together provided an insight to how people travel on this wondrous stretch of water.

"I never tire looking at it whenever I go to Sydney". Yes it is true Chris. Never be tired by looking at this beauty. Nice angle and also nice composition. Colours are so vivid. By the way, it deserves a panoramic shot may be? And, also there is a useful note. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Alpay

HI Chris, it's a beautiful view of the bridge, the panoramic format giving it more appeal.
BTW I was browsing the Sydney gallery and noticed nobody seems to have posted yet a complete Sydney panorama, there are some panos around, but one essential element is always missing, mostly the bridge. I think Sydney must be one of the best places on Earth to try out something like this...

Very nice perspective Chris! Colors are great too.
All the composition is agreable. Bridge architecture is very peculiar!
Well done and seen.
Spoony.
