[Leica] Sydney Harbour Bridge: PAW 6

[firkin at ncable.net.au (Alastair Firkin)]

G'day all,

Sydney is a beautiful city, built around a wonderful harbour  and when 
I left her in 1968, I never forgot my childhood explorations of the 
foreshore and islands. So when I go back, I often try to capture some 
of that feeling. Sydney's beauty is enhanced by some of her famous man 
made structures and degraded: at least in my eyes by others, but the 
Harbour Bridge is my favorite, so here is a selection of images taken 
for my PAW. This is the classic sweeping image of the bridge from 
Observatory Hill:

Classic, but perhaps too obvious. I also tried horizontal images, but 
in the end liked the church in the foreground. Next a more graphic and 
"strong" image

I just love the fact that the pylons were meant to be temporary 
structures removed once the construction was complete, and here you can 
see they are not connected to the coat hangar at all. Next the bridge 
in one of of its most beautiful aspects:

circular quay. The work a day reality of its construction and the 
harbour is more than "art", and finally my choice for this week's PAW. 
The approach to the bridge made by anyone coming from the South and 
heading North.

Cars sweep onto the bridge and its many lanes along with buses trains 
and walkers.

Let me know if you would have ordered them differently or done things 
in other ways. Comments delightful ;-)

Cheers

Alastair
