the long awaited sydney pictures


Ah yes... I'd half forgotten about all these pictures. But finally got round to these.

Presenting, Ser's Sydney pix.

Not too sure where to start... how about some generic pictures?

Testing out the camera... ain't too late to bring a spare just in case it doesn't work right now! And of course, SQ... the only way to fly! I got terribly squashed in on the way there, and on the way back. But hey, I got squashed in with gorgeous guys. No complaints.

The biggest and best hotel room I've ever been in. Sheraton on the Park, Sydney. Lovely service, beautiful room, albeit a little cold and empty... and truth be told, rather creepy when you're on your own for days at a time. Luckily I had the Internet to feel as if friends were but a short call away.

 

The inside of the Strand Arcade -- just love the whole Victorian feel! Just a stone's throw away from my place.

Spotted this rather cute tree. A gum nut tree or something liddat. Don't you think it looks like a cow turned into the bark of this tree?

Hee, I knew I'd find fresh greens and lovely fruit here. But... fresh handmade eyeballs?

And what did I find in the tasting section of a vineyard? The diet version of the most addictive drink in the world (barring alcohol).

Spent lots of nights out walking around. For one, night falls early here and I didn't want to spend my first junket exploring the inside of my hotel room. Love the night lights. Somehow, it all seems more exotic overseas.

This picture was taken on the second day when my trip sponsor Nokia took us out for dinner. Amazing view. And if you peer hard enough, you'll see a huge magical ferris wheel in the distance under the bridge.
This is also the same bridge, when I came back a few nights later, only to find swarms of seagulls and bats circling above it. Think buzzards and vultures circling...

I love taking pictures of the people I meet there and the people from the places I go to. These dudes (and the dudette) had some of the best Aussie feel to me.

Apparently, if you lose someone, you paint a funky picture on a wall of a church and try to get leads.

If you see Love, let me know! I've been looking for him like since forever. I thought I found him, but he sort of didn't see me. And, no he doesn't look all pimply and orangey like this fella.

Some guy really wanted someone to come back to him. He also made sure the entire city of Sydney knew it.

I always moan about the lack of lovely scenery.
Here's a close-up!

 

I leave you with two of my favourite pix that I really love.
Who wants to visit Australia with me again soon?
