Sydney September 2013
This is the view looking north, of sunset over Sydney’s eastern beaches region. Coogee beach is approximately in the middle of the image and Bondi beach is almost at the far right of the image.
Over at the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge, the topic is the hue of you . So today’s hue is blue. Why? Because nothing beats the work blues like a bit of a break. *Yay*. But that means a break from my blog and WordPress as well. I’ll be around until the end of the week until I return in mid-November. One last post later this week though.

Stunning shot! Beautiful colours and my favourite (blue) may I add 🙂
Many thanks. I hope you’re well.
Beautiful colours. Take something nice and good luck!
Thank you very much. Just a couple of weeks off then back to it. Have a great day.
Nice image – sorry that you have to leave for a bit. I’ll miss your posts and our (nearly) daily dialog. Hope you will be doing something a bit fun…yeah, work gets in the way of life every time…
Thanks. Everyone needs a break every now and then. I’m only off for a couple of weeks.
What a magnificent set of blues! Enjoy your break!
Thanks Patti.
This is interesting, the blue tone works really well with this ocean view, I like it very much! 🙂 I have a picture which I was hoping to use for a short story some time in the coming months, it’s of an ocean bay, taken in 1988, so old SLR camera, and it has an overwhelming blue tone to it, which I used to like in the 80’s, but recently I’ve been trying to tone it down a bit before I post it, in case it looked like I’d made it blue! But having seen how well this works, perhaps I’m just being too fussy – I usually am! 😉
Thanks. There are 2 ways to go – saturated deep colours or muted/faded colours. I guess it depends on how you wish to portray the scene – either would work for a seascape.
Thank you so much for the gorgeous post before you taking a break! Will miss your posts, do enjoy your time-off, Lignum.
THank you. I appreciate it. I’ll try to fit in one more post before my rest though.
Go some place where there’s lots of fresh air, stunning view and good food 😀 Will be missing you!
Thank you. One more post this week, then back in two weeks. Stay well.
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you.
Those spectacular blues make all the lights seem all the more dramatic! What a view!
I hope you have a very nice break (already looking forward to your return, though)!
🙂
One more (old school film images) post later this week then back in 2 weeks. Cheers!
Oh to be blessed by landscapes… beautiful shot!! Enjoy your break!!
Thank you. Your mountain vistas are lovely.
Good pic!!! Enjoy a lot and have a rest…!!! 🙂 🙂
Thank you.
And may be, take a couple of photographs….;)
🙂
Stunning photo, I love it
Thank you.
This is so beautiful, and something I could stare at for a very, very long time.
You have a wonderful break, and I will surely see you when you come back.
Thank you Lisa. I’ll be sure to catch up with your wonderful photography as well.
I love the rocks! They look like a great place to just be. Miss us! 🙂
The rocks were a necessity. I certainly wasn’t going to go any closer to the edge in that failing light. Quite a few people like to just sit there. And of course! 🙂
The blue you captured here heals me. Enjoy your break!
Thank you. I’m glad you found it relaxing. I certainly did. I’ll do one more post before I go, then back in about 2 weeks. Cheers.
So beautiful!
Thank you.
Beautiful… Simply beautiful.
Thank you.
You and I are lucky indeed to live along this stretch of Sydney coast. 🙂 I don’t often get farther south than Coogee, so this is a slightly different take on the view I’m used to. I can almost hear the soft surf at the foot of the rocks in this photo.
There are lots of places to explore here. One day I may even do the entire coogee-bondi walk (just have to find time).
Sculpture by the Sea starts tomorrow, that’s a great time to do it — assuming you can avoid the weekend hordes.
I need to find a weekday off then. 🙂
Stunning shot.
Thank you.

The photo is simply beautiful and blue is one of my favourite colours. Australia is now on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the last post before you take the break. Have a fantastic week!
Thank you very much. Have a great week as well. 🙂
wow wow wow! You never disappoint, my friend! 😀 This is a stunning picture, and I love how you get wonderful definition and details in each picture you take! Congratulations again!
Thank you very kindly my friend.
Wow this is such a stunning vie! Beautiful photo!
Thank you.
Just beautiful! Wish you a great off time 🙂
Thank you very much. 🙂
Whoaaaa … I love colour of the sky, so beautiful.
At first sight, I thought its Collaroy … oh dear, my brain’s fried.
Low light. You’d be forgiven. 🙂
aw …. thank you for your kindness
Cheers.
HI Lignum Draco,You have been nominated for the Semper Fidelis Award. Go to http:http://sjri.wordpress.com/ for details.
Thank you very much.
you are welcome, well deserved.
love the gradient of hues, so soft and delicate, very beautiful…
it’s interesting how the photo popped out in Flickr, I didn’t notice it here before that (thank you, Flickr 🙂 )
Thank you. If you were standing there and turned right by about 90 degrees, you would get the view in my latest photo.
I sometimes forget I have a flickr account. I see they are forcing us to have a yahoo address to continue using it now. At flickr, it is just about the standalone photo. No text and I don’t promote my site there. Here I tell the story.
I thought the two images might be shot from the same location, because of the shape of the rocks… even opened the two to compare, but wasn’t sure 🙂 thank you 🙂
I love Flickr for so many reasons… I’ve made some wonderful friends there for the past 3 years… plus, it’s a photographic community, you get very interesting, valuable and constructive comments sometimes… it’s always nice to see your work from many different perspectives… and Flickr for me is an endless see of inspiration…
but I hate the new looks of Flickr… and I’m strongly demotivated to upload there as often as in the past… especially now that Getty Images have ended their contract with Flickr…
and I agree with you completely, here you can tell a story, it’s much different on Flickr…
have a wonderful weekend, Draco 🙂
I thought you might have worked it out. Sometimes I come here to eat lunch when I have a day off. Have a wonderful weekend too Alex.
