A morning of Smoke and Haze over Sydney

IMG_2429

The first sunlight showed a lovely blue sky and the city view clear and pink, but after about an hour we felt the smell of smoke and then the haze came in. Plan was to go and take a nice photo of the bridge in the haze after breakfast, it looked very nice from the flat.

When we did go for a walk, the smoke had thickened alot and we could not even see the city or the bridge from our normal view point in Waverton.

The light was spectacular though and it felt like being around a Valborgsbrasa… Now two hours later, it is clearing around the flat, but we are still not able to see the city or the bridge.IMG_2454 IMG_2441 IMG_2426

Visit to Barangaroo Park

IMG_2353

One of the Easter days we visited Barangaroo Park, a new development in Sydney. The park is really nice and is opposite where we live in Waverton. We were fortunate that the weather was nice until we had walked around the whole park and were heading back home when the rain hit. Luckily we had one umbrella with us and were able to get into a coffee shop and have a ‘fika’ before heading home.

Behind the fence at Sydney Metro

We had a great day out to one of the Stations being built along the Northwest Metro, which Sanna is the part of the project where Sanna works. A warm day which started with fog and ended with a nice brunch on the way home.

Australia Day in Sydney

IMG_2124This year we spent Australia Day, 26th January, in Waverton.

Fredrik and Erin came and joined us for brunch, followed by a trip to the city. This trip was to greet a Swedish guy, Mats, who has walked from Stockholm to Sydney, whom Jessica heard about at a party the weekend before. He wrote about his trip on: the-walk.se 

Later in the afternoon we played Kubb outside our house before dinner at home.
