Sydney Harbour is spectacular. There is really no other word for it. The Harbour Bridge spans the water like a huge coat hanger and the green and yellow ferries chug back and forth beneath its expanse. The Sydney Opera House is a focal point on the harbour, standing at the far end of Bennelong Point. From there it is a leisurely walk around the water’s edge by the Botanical Gardens to Woolloomooloo. Don’t you just love the sound of that name!
Today Lyle and I found ourselves back at Circular Quay. I always enjoy spending time around the
harbour. However, on days when cruise
ships are in, the tourist population swells and I find navigating with my white
cane more difficult. Generally speaking,
tourists tend to gaze at the sights rather than where they are walking. They don’t see me and I don’t see them!
I would also like to mention something else spectacular with
today’s post. You might remember that I
have previously written about the importance of support groups. Today I want to
say a special hello to a spectacular support group in Southern Alberta. I know
that the group follows this blog at their regular meetings and I want to say
thank you. The group call themselves the Spectaculars. Now isn’t that just a perfect name for a
support group for people who have sight challenges?
I am attaching two photos with this post. The first is of the Sydney Harbour Bridge
taken on our ferry ride across the harbour.
The second is of the Sydney Opera House.

The pictures of the opera house have always fascinated me. I have forgotten who the architect was.
