A Sydney walk



I've been missing my walks by the harbour, and while they are well in my 10 kms, they get very crowded and busy, so I've cut them out.

Linking with #WeekendReflections


I really needed to clear my head on the weekend so headed to Barangaroo (still only 7 kms away). Deciding the park might be too busy, I opted for the Walsh Bay waterfront. It was delightful with the sun sparkling on the water and the sun warming my face. 

It was lovely to be back in the city. I had a talk cancelled at the Opera House that was meant to be on the next day, so it was a bittersweet to see my favourite spot in Sydney and be reminded of all that we are missing at the moment.
However, it did the trick and I went home feeling at peace and content - as content as we can be at the moment.


Can you get to your favourite spots at the moment?

      The Sydney Opera House building is stunning and unique, but the foot of that bridge is also impressive. Suggests so much solidity ...

      Have a fine day, Lydia! And thank you for visiting and commenting!

    I sure have walked some of those places but Barrangaroo was still in development when we left Sydney. I really do want to visit ONE day... Denyse

    Looks like a great place to walk!
    I prefer candid street photography as opposed to street portraits, so I never ask for permission. Most of the time people don't even know I took a picture. This time the woman asked if I took a picture and I said yes. Then if I remember correctly she took my picture. :-)

    Hi Lydia. We are back to needing masks to shop at most places and I'm just tired of it. My walking is almost fully in our own backyard now which does not have any views as great as your post above had. Thanks for a quick look at the outside world.
    Blessings.

    Great photos. It must have felt so good to be back looking at those familiar sights once again. Things are almost back to normal here in the UK. Sadly having broken my foot frustratingly I am back to square one again and can't get out and about.

    What beautiful photos! When we were on lockdown here in the states getting out daily for hikes and walks in the woods was definitely my best way to stay sane and happy and calm.

    We are able to out and about. 75% are vaccinated. But we will remain in stage 3 as cases start to rise dramatically among the unvaccinated.
    Enjoy getting out and wandering the city!

    I'm glad you took us along on your walk. There's a lot to see and you took lots of photos, like I do :)

    Lovely shots, Lydia. Glad to hear you're hanging on in there. We're almost as bad as you with lockdown restrictions and a constant on case numbers every day. I think most people are suffering from lockdown fatigue to some extent. Being able to walk somewhere as lovely as your photos does a world of good for your psychology!
    Thanks for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.
