A day in Sydney, at the Art Gallery and other places.

Today my mate Barb and I went into the city for the day, to check out the painting in the Archibald portrait painting.
Firstly this is the local cafe next to the supermarket under new management and now selling camel burgers not sure if I will give them a try.

We were not going anywhere near the shops or the city centre but heading to the gardens and the Domaine for the day also a quick tour around Hyde Park and The Art Gallery. When we arrived in the city the first thing we saw was this fellow not sure if he was a fellow or maybe a lady, all wrapped up in a blanket and sound asleep, it's been a while since I seen a homeless person asleep on a park bench.

The two seats were vacant, we could use them on the way back but we forgot our blankets, so I guess no naps.

The war memorial

and the pool of reflection

Centrepoint tower

This was a flag about the Sydney to surf but the wind dropped as I was taking the picture.

The trees lining the path down to the fountain.

St Marys

There is always a bride having her photo taken.

Great fountain lots of water going everywhere.

Centerpoint tower is maybe Westfields tower now but no one told me.

Morton bay figs they are pretty big trees.

Now when you come across a bunch of people and very large plastic balls in a field you wonder what happens next,

Well they pop them over their heads and guess what.

They play football, sort of, well no injuries but if you fell over would you  roll off the field, it looked like fun.

The last time we went to the Art Gallery, there was a sign up to say cameras were not to be used but today lots of people were taking pictures with their phones so I had to ask and was told they are now allowed but  no flashes so I took a few in the general part some turned out some didn't.  

I like the clouds in this one

Cool river scene

Sweet little fellow dozing in the alley

This one is not a happy chappy

This is a crazy tree

and ones with big roots

The afternoon is clouding over time to head home.

My friend in the gardens

A rainbow to welcome me home.
