Sydney Harbour Bridge during rush hour...

The bridge carries cars, buses, trains, pedestrians and cyclists across the harbor... and maybe even streetcars... I forget. I took this photo because of all the traffic lights.

Setting sun on Sydney Harbour... bridge, boats and city skyline..

This view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge was taken from the Sydney Opera House... some of the best views of each of these two famous Sydney sights are taken while opposite the one from the other...

Alien Visitor? No... just a street lamp near the Sydney Opera House...

This just appealed to me... like the translucence and the colors visible as well as the alien appearance...

Alert eyes spotted this starfish (with EIGHT points to his star) in a tidal pool as we walked along Depot Beach late Saturday afternoon.

Am way behind on posts... unreliable or non-existent internet... but am sitting in a coffee shop in Aukland, NZ posting just this one for now... (one hour free wi-fi when purchasing a cup of coffee or tea)

The Three Sisters overlooking the Jamison Valley, Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia

Hiking around the Cliff Walks and the side trips can be very exhausting! Caught the bus to Echo Point today and kept my walks to a minimum... this is one of the views of the Three Sisters from today's adventure... showing part of Mount Solitary on the right with the Jamison Valley and distant vistas included.

The Three Sisters, Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia

Legend has it that three sisters were turned to stone by a medicine man who intended to reverse the spell when it was safe to do so... but he was killed in battle so they remain as stone to this day. Here they are posing for a close-up with the Jamison Valley behind them. This view was taken on my hike around the Cliff Walk today... cannot recall which lookout provided this spectacular view but it was somewhere near Echo Point on the Prince Henry Cliff Walk. (NOTE: there is more than one legend of the Three Sisters, all involve turning them to stone (either by a witch doctor or medicine man) to keep them safe with plans to return them to their natural state being foiled by the untimely death of the spell caster)

It's still winter in the Blue Mountains but their winter is not quite like ours... all kinds of flowers blooming and it seems as if it is spring already here!
