Sydney's Beautiful Places!

Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

I have been to other cities around the world like Paris and New York who all have their unique beauty but when I come back to Sydney I am wowed by the spectacular harbour, the beautiful beaches and the peaceful bushland that envelops the city as well as winds its way through the various suburbs.

Sydney is a city that international visitors love to come to. It is inviting and the lifestyle is laid back. If you just want to relax, then Sydney is certainly the place to come to.

Sydney enjoys a temperate climate with a mild winter, and has more than 340 sunny days a year. Average minimum temperatures in the winter months of June through to August is around 9 degrees Celsius (47-48 degrees Farenheit). The summer season is from December through to February.

I have selected a few photos from my collection that showcase the beauty of the Sydney Harbour and coastline.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy taking them.

SYDNEY!

One of the most beautiful cities in the world with its beautiful harbour, sun-drenched beaches and its iconic buildings. It is famous all over the world for the Opera House, the harbour and the New Years Eve Fire works.

Sydney never sleeps and is the international gateway to Australia...the first city that international visitors see.

I love it...hope you do too.

Activities on our Coastline

Surreal, Colourful and Captivating, the site of Para-gliders hanging over the beaches and headlands always cause people to stop and watch.

I was no exception. I had to capture this shot and share it with you. Please direct any comments to info@sydneynaturally.com.au

The Sydney Opera House

It is one of the great iconic buildings of the 20th century, an image of great beauty that has become

known throughout the world – a symbol for not only a city, but a whole country and continent.

The opera House was the product of a design competition launched by NSW in 1955.

The winner, announced in 1957, was Jørn Utzon, a Danish architect.

Photography 101 - Tips & Tricks

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.
