Finesse jetty and knots,
Rumble the motors’ power,
Slide past nodding yachts,
Skim glass at the golden hour.
The Sydney Harbour
is best explored by boat
at sunrise
If you’re not into boating, there are so many great walks around the harbour for all levels of fitness.
For more entries to this week’s photo challenge, see The Daily Post. Here are my favourite five:

delightful! it must be almost fifty years since i sailed my moth from the balmoral club and saw middle harbour at sunrise!
Great memories, Christine 😀
I think I’d like to go one direction at sunrise and the the other at sunset!
I’d recommend being on the water for sunrise and in the mountains for sunset – it’s possible 🙂
Just magnificent BB!
Thanks, G – roll on , Summer!
Really good – evocative words with a great rhythm 🙂 I’ve only been on the ferry to the North Shore (many moons ago when I got the bus to Sydney to visit my Aunty and co.) but I loved it.
Thanks, Gabe – if you ever need a weekend escape from that idyllic place in which you live, give me a shout.
thanks bb 🙂 you never know
Great pics and words, bluebee. 🙂
Thanks, AD 🙂
Lovely!
Thanks, Julie 🙂

Absolutely beautiful!
Hello, Cee 😀 Thx
Gorgeous images and poetic imagery, BB. If I ever make it to Sydney, I’d definitely explore it by boat . . . but more like a sunset cruise than at sunrise. I’m inclined to sleep past the point that the sun greets the day.
Thanks, Nancy. I’m the same as you but my hubby is an early bird and, on occasion, drags me out of bed at a ridiculous hour (much wailing & gnashing of teeth) to get out on the water or the golf course. Once I’m out there, I love it! (Although, I have to say that he doesn’t even attempt it in winter, haha)
I love boating – these are beautiful shots of the Harbour 😀
Thanks, Dianne. There’s so much to explore by boat in this city. 😀 I know you’re pretty busy renovating the RUC, but will you get out on the water much in summer up your way?
I’m out on the water quite a lot, fishing and crabbing 😀
Lucky fish 😀
Just have to see that in person someday.
So many places to see, Charles. Pity that work takes up the majority of most lives 😦
Boating is the way to go, there. Preferably (for me) without motor.
I would like to be in a yacht that stopped nodding and started gliding!
Yes, I like yachting and kayaking too – the unmotored yachts get to sleep in & head out later when the wind comes up. There are also a lot of unused boats of all kinds hanging about in this harbour…
I loved these, BB. I remember a treasured Sergeants quarters near the end of SHB. In UK we were knocking down an identical building!
Although Sydney was a hard work experience for me, I managed to see a little of it. Great place!
John
Thanks, John – nice to “see” you 😀
well now you have just made me homesick
😦
It’s only a skip and a jump 🙂
Love the sound of water,bb, lapping, love walking by water, strolling, but cannot for the life of me ( not proven) swim. Still, I love the photo’s and can appreciated that which I cannot jump into. ( a bit like hot water really!!!) xPenx
Ah, Pen – something to add to things to do – learn how to swim and snorkel – swimming in natural waters is one of my great joys 😀
Beautiful pics, Bb. Wonderful colours!
morning light on heavenly water – that’s living, Bluebee
We’re not doing enough of it at the moment, Monica 😦
