Sydney at dusk. The blue twilight.
Monday evening, 15th April, 2024.

Photographed at the Jones Bay Wharf. Pirrama Road. Pyrmont.
Near Barangaroo, at Darling Harbour.

If you come to Sydney, then this is the wharf to check out. Not one of the usual tourist destinations, because it is a 'working' wharf and business precinct. Google's Australian HQ is located close by. The wharf gives you the real harbour ambience. Here is a bit of history:

And here is the definitive 'Smooth Jazz' version of Marvin Gaye's classic track 'Inner City Blues'. This version is by the all-legend crew of Lee Ritenour, George Benson and Gerald Albright. I have this on 'high rotation' on Spotify!

The jungle looms so very close to Sydney.
Balls Head Reserve, Waverton.
Near McMahons Point.

Here's the awesome CCR with their 1960s anti Vietnam War song: 'Run Through The Jungle':

Tonight in Sydney.
Monday, 15th April, 2024.

The Sydney Opera House sails are lit up tonight with a black ribbon, to honour the victims of the tragedy at Bondi.

I travelled into the city after work this evening to capture the Opera House with its black ribbon.

The parking gods were smiling because I scored a car-space along Hickson Road, right outside the Park Hyatt Hotel (who does that?), then walked a short distance to the Overseas Passenger Terminal where, near the Quay Restaurant (closed tonight, I noted) you get a great vantage point looking out across Sydney harbour to the Opera House.

But then, I returned to the car, to hear on the news that in western Sydney tonight there has been another mass stabbing. Good grief - what is going on? This time a Christian priest and multiple worshippers were stabbed at Christ The Good Shepherd Church, in the western Sydney suburb of Wakeley (near Fairfield).
Unbelievable, given the events at Bondi just two day's ago.

Anyway, back to the black ribbon. It was, I thought, I grand tribute to those who lost their lives on Saturday at Bondi.
