This is blue hour. Sydney City is a bit far away, started lit up. Red dot on the stick is not a lolly pop but Sydney Tower.
Jacaranda trees started blooming (purple flowers on the right-hand shore), spreading everywhere now.

This imperturbable location is only minutes away, by water, from the hustle and bustle of Sydney's CBD, yet the tranquility here could easily be a million miles away.

Thank you to everyone who participated in my "real street photography" experiment last week. You can read the wrap on the series and the results of the challenge here.
This week, I am continuing the experiment with a series entitled "breaking all the rules" in which all but one image have had significant post-production work. Your challenge is to pick the one that is "real" (i.e. straight out of the camera).

A dramatic winter sunset envelops Sydney, which reminds us of the sky's vastness and how insignificant we really are.
Here we go MATES, another Sprengben nightphoto made from the top. I know, there are a lot of saturated colors in the photo but to all who don’t like it… Don’t like it!!! I love the photo, it is vivid it is mighty in terms of houses and it glows like a BBQ place when you are waiting for your perfect medium raw steak…
Ok I exaggerate but the glow really rocks in my eyes.
Whilst staring at the Photo I have a song for you guys that really fits well!
What can I say about Sydney? I love it but I know now I will generate some haters… Melbourne is the more liveable citie… I am sorry but that is what I felt!
By the way, if you ever plan to visit Sydney by night and you are hiking on foot like I mostly do, be warned that the Royal Botanical gardens close with the sundown.
If you plan to stay at Kings Cross be warned that you should really take the Metro or the Bus otherwise you will spent the whole night walking.
Don’t do it!!!
Have a great rest of the Week!
Love,
Ben

At the northeastern end of Sydney Harbour, Watsons Bay is renowned for its views of my city's most famous waterway. The sights here are excellent during the daytime or at night, even at the meeting of those two parts of each twenty-four hours, dusk and dawn.
It was before dawn on a Saturday early in June of 2020 when I drove to the bay to photograph the Moon setting over Sydney's CBD skyline. My image for today is one of the many shots I clicked off that morning as I was periodically moving my camera and tripod along the bay's promenade to get the alignment of the Moon and the skyscrapers just how I wanted them.
The photo is a single-frame image, shot with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Sigma 50-500mm f/5.6 lens @ 500 mm @ f/14, using an exposure time of 1/60 second @ ISO 2000.
Building a bigger, brighter Sydney!
Some $4.8 billion worth of projects are now under construction in the CBD with a further $3.1 billion of approved works still to commence and scheduled for completion by 2025.

When I lived in Sydney, everyone called this Centepoint, but it appears that it has had a name change, and it is now Sydney Tower.
Some interesting facts from Wikipedia are -
It is the third tallest observation tower in the Southern Hemisphere.
Construction of the office building commenced in 1970, and tower construction began in 1975. Public access to the tower, at the time the fourth tallest building in the world, began in September 1981.
Prior to construction of the tower, the height limit in Sydney had been set at 279 m (915 ft), to allow for safe overflights by flying boats, an aircraft type that had been obsolescent for almost two decades.
The Sydney Tower Skywalk platform at 268 m (879 ft) above ground level has an open-air viewing platform only accessible as part of planned and booked tours.

Some things just look better Large and on BLACK…… Enjoy!!!
There are some days when in feel homesick while I’m at home, it feels like there’s something missing, something I long for but out of reach. At times like that I find myself going trough photos of the country I love almost as much as the Netherlands - Amsterdam,
Yes, it Australia.
It’s hard to explain why Australia made such an impact on me, I always say “it’s something they put in the water”.
Any way, my photo stream was well over due for a photo of Sydney and that’s why I choose this shot of Darling Harbour. Hope you’ll enjoy.

This morning (Sat 6th June) there was a penumbral lunar eclipse visible in Eastern Australia. Well, visible is a stretch, since the dimming of the Moon's light during a penumbral eclipse is nigh on impossible to see.
Still, with almost every lunar eclipse visible from Sydney in the last six years having been clouded out, waking up to find that the forecast clear skies were a reality was motivation to get out of my warm bed and set off for a shoot.
By the time the Moon was in a position for me to create this shot, the eclipse was all but over and there’s no visible sign of it in the photo. My image shows the full moon as it was dipping to the western horizon, behind the Sydney Tower Eye (aka Centrepoint Tower), which was 7.5 km from my spot on the beach at Watsons Bay.
Shot with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera and a Sigma 50-500mm f/5.6 lens @ 500mm @ f/7.1, using an exposure time of 1/25 sec @ ISO 400.
Sydney Tower is Sydney's tallest structure and the second tallest observation tower in the Southern Hemisphere. The name Sydney Tower has become common in daily usage, however the tower has been known as the Sydney Tower Eye,[1] AMP Tower, Westfield Centrepoint Tower, Centrepoint Tower or just Centrepoint. The Sydney Tower is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers.[2]
The tower stands 309 m (1,014 ft) above the Sydney central business district (CBD), located on Market Street, between Pitt and Castlereagh Streets.[3] It is accessible from the Pitt Street Mall, Market Street or Castlereagh Street and sits above the Westfield Sydney (formerly Centrepoint) shopping centre. The tower is open to the public, and is one of the most prominent tourist attractions in the city, being visible from a number of vantage points throughout town and from adjoining suburbs.[4][5] Auckland's Sky Tower is taller but Sydney Tower's main observation deck is almost 50 m (164 ft) higher than the observation deck on Auckland's Sky Tower.
While the shopping centre at the base of the tower is run by the Westfield Group, the tower itself is occupied by Trippas White Group, which owns and operates Sydney Tower Dining,[6] and Merlin Entertainments, which owns and operates the "Sydney Tower Eye" observation deck and "Oztrek" simulated ride attraction.
