Blue Skies, Sydney
Tonight in Sydney. Monday, 1st April, 2024.
Easter Monday.
The blue sky across the city this evening just after sunset.
Photographed from 'Eagle Rock', a rock ledge on the harbour. It is located along the Ballasters forest track, just below the Balls Head Reserve, at Waverton.
And here is Willy Nelson with his haunting melody & song: 'Blue Skies': www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGZDwxnjG1g
So Easter Monday allowed me to drive down to the harbour late in the afternoon, after visiting Bunnings at Dural (the best place to go at Easter for plants) and then Benzin Cafe at Dural, for extreme coffee.
This time I chose the Balls Head Reserve, at Waverton. And - amid all the Brush Turkeys (there is a huge colony of these wild turkeys at Balls Head) I tried various forest walks beside the harbour, descending from the top of Balls Head to the Ballasters Track, beside the harbour.
Finally, in the gloom of dusk, I located a rock ledge (known as 'Eagle Rock') that seemed like it would provide a good view to the city. And it did, but I was probably a bit late. So I will return to grab photos on another occasion at this secluded spot - but a little earlier (right on sunset). It was then a 'fabulous' challenge to ascend the headland in the dark and locate the car in the forest car-park.
