Urban Landscapes - Share my Snaps!



I think you know you truly love a city when you see it's beauty in it's imperfections. Sydney has a lot of that gritty endearment at the moment, as every road and building seems to be scaffolded off as a building zone.

"To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they’re blind to your shortcomings but because they so clearly see your soul. Your shortcomings then dim by comparison. The people who care about you are willing to let you be imperfect and beautiful, too. (20)”
― Victoria Moran, Lit From Within: Tending Your Soul For Lifelong Beauty




You may not have beautiful scenery but there is always beauty to be found.




Sometimes just the hue of the sky is enough to dazzle you.

May there always be something, no matter how small, to enchant you.

    I love these shots because they get in under the city - it's the city, but not as you know it. Have a great week.

    I love winter sunsets, and these are so gorg! I'm missing Sydney more lately and this didn't help ;) I especially like the tree shadow photo.

    Lydia, your Sydney is my Sydney. I love the mix of 'true' beauty and the look a bit harder and you'll find it kind in this fabulous city.

    You can tell you love your surroundings. I suppose the weather there is conducive to year round construction? Loving the final shot with the ring around the sun.

    Yes I too love seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. Yesterday walking through the no longer grass I saw yellow weeds poking their heads through and snapped them.

    Thanks for linking up for #lifethisweek. Next week's optional prompt for 36/52 is Taking Stock. Denyse

    I'm quite partial to rural images, but the city has a lot of beauty, too, and you found quite a bit!

    I think there is such beauty at nature peeping through at us even in urban settings. I have started jogging and enjoy being outside, just me and the world first thing in the morning. Thanks for linking up with #globalblogging

    Beautiful photos. I visited Sydney once many years ago. It reminded me of where I live as I was there in your winter.

    Beautiful shots, a city with a lot of construction going on is a dynamic city.
