The Overseas Passenger Terminal, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Friendship, a First Fleet Class ferry at the Circular Quay ferry wharves, provide plenty of reflections in Sydney Harbour.
This pedestrian bridge provides a safe crossing across the busy Newbridge Road in the south western suburb of Liverpool. This contemporary office building has been built on the edge of the ever expanding commercial area.
This view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge is from Dawes Point at dusk.

This artwork near the water’s edge of Campbells Cove at The Rocks, with a spectacular backdrop of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, was installed for the Vivid Sydney festival. “Ember”, created by Joe Snell was a 30 metre long glowing installation that pulsates between red and orange. It evokes the beauty of dying embers and the danger in the potential of an ’ember attack’ that is synonymous with Australian bush fires. It tantalises with its warm ambience on a winter’s night, drawing you closer to touch the glowing coals. It also doubled up as a bench for the audience of the Fire Dance performance every hour.
This bridge (top), which sits above the Argyle Cut in The Rocks, carries a roadway, railway, walkway and cycleway from the central business district to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Argyle Cut was hewn out of the sandstone ridge of The Rocks to connect Sydney Cove with Darling Harbour and Millers Point. It was started in 1843 by convicts with hammers and chisels but was not completed until 1859 with the use of city council labour and explosives. “Argyle Cut”, created by Mark Dyson, was a geometric pattern of lights displayed on the historic arch (bottom) as part of the Vivid Sydney festival.
This wooden lattice footbridge over the Twin Ponds is one of many throughout the Royal Botanic Gardens. The water hen was contemplating going down the ramp into the pond.
