The city? Yes, I know. But apparently it is a suburb.
CBD my suburb of the week. It meant I could finally explore on foot all those amazing buildings
that I've driven past so many times, rushing to work or whatever. Having missed out last year, I was
also keen to see Sydney sandstone (and that white building on the water) bathed in wild colour
courtesy of Macquarie Visions and Vivid.
By the way, in case you're not acquainted with the life and times of Lachlan and Elizabeth Macquarie
and are wondering what all the fuss is about, an explanation in 20 words or less: Arriving in 1810, they
basically built Sydney, were into the arts and gave poor old buggers like convict Francis Greenway
a second chance.

If you live in Sydney you'll know that it's Rain Time. Officially. It just keeps coming down. On one
visit to the city I was like, if I get out, all my shots will have big fat splotches of rain on them.
So I may as well drive around and take shots from behind my wet, foggy windscreen.

and the reception, and kindly let me tail behind for a while.
