Sunset at Sydney Harbour Bridge
Sunset at Sydney Harbour Bridge
I took this photograph of Sydney Harbour Bridge whilst waiting for the fireworks to start on New Year's Eve.
We'd just been for a swim in Luna Park Pool with my brother and his family. We'd booked the holiday when they told us they were going to be there and had a fantastic 3 weeks touring around.
My brother stayed with us last weekend and told us that they had booked to go back to Australia for 4 weeks this time, next Feburary.
I soooo wish we could go there again but it's not possible for us this time, for a number of reasons. 😢
Still, I'm very grateful we took the opportunity when we were able to. 😊
It was a once in a lifetime holiday experience.

Thank you to @juliank and @photocontests for the daily photography contest.
@gillianpearce, I read about this amazing bridge. It's so nice that you could visit such a wonderful place. Looks very nice.
Yep. It was a great trip @madlenfox. 😁
So beautiful! Good call on taking opportunities when they arise! Life is too short and you need to enjoy every moment. Well, hopefully, some other time, right!?
Hopefully @rimicane but there are so many other places I want to visit too. It's unlikely I'll get around to all of them which makes this trip even more one to treasure. 😊
Lucky you Gillian watching the New Year fireworks in Sydney. I love watching them.on telly every you!
It was a very fortunate trip @livinguktaiwan. Not something we'd planned particularly so that made it extra special. 😁
For me it would take 22 hours to go and be in Sydney Thats a goal for My 50 th birthday goots keep goals in life
I think it took us even longer than that @brittandjosie but we timed our flights really well so the journey and consequent recovery wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.
I hope you make it for your 50th. It's a fun place to visit. 😊
What a fantastic photo I would love to go there. Sometimes those once in a lifetime trips can just reach down into our souls and change us forever. A return trip would be fantastic but could also lessen the value of the first. Thank you for sharing your amazing photo.
I don't think a return trip would lessen the value of the first one as we could easily spend just as much time and return to anywhere we went before. it would take a very long time to see all that Australia has to offer I think. 😁
I did not mean it in a negative way at all, Australia is a large and varied landscape that you could spend years exploring. I just meant that sometimes the mystery can be more dreamy (at a lack of a better word) than the return. I would love to go there as well. I want to thank you for the post, your photo allowed me to see a place I have dreamed of through your eyes Thank you!!
I didn't take it in a negative way. I just wanted to respond to your comment. I hope you are able to go there some day @roverone. 😁
Wow, beautiful. I’m currently saving up to visit Australia (and Sydney specifically. It looks amazing.
If you get the opportunity @twocatsncounting try and get across to Tasmania. We were there for about 10 days and it was brilliant. If you like unspoiled places that is! 😁
Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll definitely have a look.
Gosh this is stunning
thank you empress-eremmy. 😊
