Sydney on a Rainy overcast day.....

Well after a 8 hr nap...could have stretched that to 10 hrs very easily...I decide to "hop on the bus" and take in Sydney sights....first one is a view from my hotel balcony of the Australian War Memorial in Hyde Park.


This is the famous Sydney Harbor Bridge....while you can climb up I did not the last time I was here and also have chosen the advice of my monkey to skip it!! Oprah and all her gang did the climb when she was here last month filming her shows.



St James Catholic Church....the largest Catholic Church in Australia.   It can be seen from my balcony as well....


This is one interesting piece of art.  It is two matches.  One has burned...the other is not yet lit!!


Sydney Skyline....lots of great buildings...and good use of steel and windows. 


And speaking of great buildings....this is Sydney's greatest....The Opera House.  Very unique in design and a beautiful sight in the harbor.


Another interesting piece of art.  In a round-about an auto damaged by a falling rock!!  Now...was the damage caused by accident from another car before the rock fell....and where did the rock come from?  Chicken Little...help us out here!!


Well of course Prince Albert has a statute...on horseback as usual!!


And of course Queen Victoria has her own building....she has many statutes here in Sydney and it appears they still love her.


I leave you with dedication in picture of who is making all this possible....Apple!!  This is the Apple store in Sydney...another gathering place for young genius..These people know their stuff and are so willing to share that knowledge.

Okay...that is it for today....off to the Beach tomorrow...hopefully it will not be raining!!
