Whenever I’m away from Sydney, it’s the blue that I miss – I think the colour of our sky and seas is very distinctive. Here are a few autumnal photos from my morning walks, and a recent visit to the beach. It’s actually raining this morning, so it seemed a good day to post them.
. . . . .
When the sun appears after a few days of rain, it’s impossible to take a bad photo on the Inner West Bay Run…
On clear, still days, we get sky mirrors to rival Anish Kapoor…
I see the same vista almost every weekday morning, but the colours and textures change subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) from day to day…
We don’t have narrowboats in our canal, but over a hundred years ago, a ferry service into the city left from this point…
Finally, a couple of photos from our recent visit to Mistral Point in Maroubra…
It’s always a joy to be able to stand at the edge of our island continent and marvel at the magnificence of the Pacific Ocean…
Have a lovely weekend, folks! ♥

Yes I miss the blue very much. The light is much more subdued here. Thanks for the beautiful photos Celia.
Oh my , this looks gorgeous. I have never been in Sydney.
How lovely to see this through your eyes. You have the eye of an artist, and the appreciation of a biophile ♡
i love the blue here –
Lovely! The coast always makes me happy.
Makes me want to visit!!
Thank for the lovely pictures. Yes, I can see why you are enamored by Sydney. Lovely!
You have made me feel ‘homesick’ this morning – yes, I know I am only a 120km south in the beautiful Southern Highlands but some 30 years in Sydney’s east has left a spell . . . thanks !!!
Cecilia … I am originally from Sydney too … northern beaches … and it is a gorgeous place. But Perth is also beautiful, and if ever you venture over these parts I would love to show you around … we are so blessed to live in this amazing country xo
Celia … I am so sorry I spelt your name incorrectly … very late night last night (for lovely reasons!) and was thinking of my dear neighbour “Cecilia” xo
Beautiful! You’re pictures are always so clear and vibrant.
Up here, I get a beautiful selection of tropical greeny-ocean-blues and celestial sky blues, but I miss the intense navy and white combination of your Maroubra photos from my days further south in Coffs Harbour… Maybe it’s time to take a short holiday and head down Mexico way (south of the border and away from the Great Barrier Reef and its effects on the ocean).
Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful. I do know what you mean. The light here in Spain is so very different from that of Bexhill. Both wonderful in their very different ways! Hope you are feeling better now x
Wonderful photos, Celia. The very first time my husband (Canadian) came to Sydney, he kept marvelling at the light and the skies. No filters,no filters! Now, even after 30+ years, when we go back he still marvels. As for me, nothing beats it.
Thank you once again for sharing those beautiful scenes and allowing me a vicarious enjoyment of your walks.
Despite dozens of interactions between WordPress and myself, I am still not receiving your emails on my email account. I tend to be rather stubborn so will continue to chip away until I achieve my desired outcome!
Many thanks once more,
I love standing on the edge of this Island too xx
Magnificent–reminds me a bit of San Diego but much greener.
The vistas are indeed beautiful. I find that our lake and skies have an unusual blue colour, one that shifts to green or grey in an instant. Sometimes it even looks turquoise, like the Caribbean!
Lovely, lovely blue! And what a beautiful place. In Maine, halfway across the world from you, I’m agog at your photos.
Greetings from the California edge of the Pacific Ocean. I’m kind of partial to that great big body of water, too! :-) Your photos are spectacular, Celia. Beautiful blues, for sure!!
Didn’t realize how lovely Australia is. You are lucky to live so close to the ocean. Your photos are great!
