Amsterdam in Sydney

It's a rare occasion that I take the ferry to work any more. I miss the quiet moment this gives me before work; the cup of coffee and danish whilst I watch the world go by, and the view, I miss the view.

The ferry from Circular Quay to Balmain goes past the ocean liner you can see here, which has the opera house on the opposite side, left under the bridge and round the corner.

On a sunny day it is a superb journey. You get to look at the idiots on the bridge climb, see the kids going to Luna Park and go past the cargo terminal that butts onto Sussex street. You see everything that happens in the middle of Sydney and be apart from it with your coffee and your Danish. A priceless moment of peace to contextualise your thoughts before arriving at work. I miss that.


  1. You're right, nothing beats a good bit of contextualising with the wind in your hair and the salt spray at your feet. Beats my walk to work. I can see why you miss it.

  2. Very nice work Mr C...this means I may nick your old Dataphage template should I decide to start a fourth...

  3. Thank you, please steal away as 'tws not mine in the first place!

    Dad - I seem to be doing a lot of centextualising these days. Both for myself and for hire...
