Celebrating 26 years in blue sky Sydney : May 8 2026

avatar

Not the best night - weird dreams after a late markets night. Was in struggle mood doing the investing accounts. A blue sky day was demanding a walk along the water. Caught a train to walk a loop of Sydney Harbour

This is always an emotional time for me. We arrived in Sydney on May 3, 2000 and enjoyed blue sky days for several months. Every day the same is a celebration

Have done this walk quite a times down to Barangaroo - have never noticed the ray sculptures above. I have photographed the Sussex Hotel behind a few times. That had me looking up for ideas

Not noticed this line of cafes either - ray is up above

Walk around to Darling Harbour - the new building is going up too

View back to the city. Sky Tower fits the looking up theme. What really caught my eye was the Bank of China signage in the fork of those timber piles. What I had not noticed was the signage on the building to the left. Hall & Willcox is the law firm my wife worked with in her last contract and they strongly influenced her being chosen for her current contract. Still working with them

View across the water to Maritime Museam - old and not so old in frame - a WWII destroyer behind

A quite different angle of Westin Hotel behind Pyrmont Bridge - not often seen view as there is normally a boat moored blocking it

Swing around shot back the way we came - those black pylons with white tops are in the previous shot. View down Kings Wharf from Pyrmont Bridge

Back to looking up theme - Sky Tower

Walked around the edge of Pyrmont Bay past Wharf 10 where my wife's last contract was - a few shots of Crown Casino sparkling

North Sydney buildings up behind

Old warehouse buildings - nice park in front

A sighting of Sydney Harbour Bridge behind Crown Casino

Clear view of North Sydney across the water from Jones Wharf

Jones Wharf. Was a good walk - chose not to walk further around the catch a ferry but walked back to catch light rail from The Star Casino. Interesting journey - two car tram running 6 minutes apart was quite full when I got on. Journey Maker got on next stop to squeeze more people in. He tells em they can only 2 cars as some platforms are too short. Cannot run 4 minutes apart as road traffic management system will not allow as that would mess with car and bus traffic

Did the shopping on the way back from the station. Cooked pizza for dinner - no photos

Was a good walk to celebrate blue skies in May from 26 years ago

It sounds like a deeply reflective way to reset after a rough night. Using the "looking up" theme to find new details—like the ray sculptures and the Hall & Wilcox signage—proves how a familiar walk can still offer fresh perspectives.

Celebrating 26 years since arriving in Sydney with those same blue skies is a wonderful tradition. Ending a day of harbor views and personal history with homemade pizza is the perfect way to turn a "struggle mood" around.
