I had visited Sydney before, but just for a few hours. Mesmerised I was the last time too, but in this trip (a conference in 2026) I got to lavishly explore two of its sides: the charm of its harbour amidst the awe-inspiring colorful skies, and the beauty of its mountains. What more could I say of this wonderful place: I must visit again to explore its famous beaches!
The most famous icon in Sydney is the Opera House. It's visible at every turn with a different perspective. This one is from atop the Circular Quay metro station. Also, one may take those green-yellow ferries to visit many tourist attractions nearby.
OMG Koalas! They are slow and sleepy, but amazingly cute. Perfect "teddy bears" :)
Much in Sydney is about water.
This was the view from the conference venue.
Australia is a very old civilization, consisting of many aboriginal communities apart from the later arrivals. An excellent example of co-existence.
This is a famous photography spot on Instagram, so I must partake :D
One of my most beautiful captures. The "blue hour" contrasts very well with the evening lights on the Opera House.
We had gone on a day trip to areas around the Blue Mountains. This place has three cliffs named the "three sisters". Two of them are visible in this picture.
Our trip included multiple rides, this being one of them. FUN!
We had an evening cruise included as part of the conference. This guy drew a lot of "researcher" attention.
Towards the end of our cruise, I got this rare picture of the House beneath the Bridge.
