It was a cool soft rain day
when I set off on a big city walk
replete with sensible shoes
but no umbrella
optimism blooming like the flowers outside my door
up to the front gate
and down the street
city cats aren't fussy where they clean themselves!
and then I spotted my little local coffee shop
I'll try it on Monday, and hide behind a newspaper if no-one smiles at me
(city folk can be a bit smile poor)
there actually are trees!
Elizabeth Bay/King's Cross area has some cool architecture, methinks
I found my yoga studio :)
winding city streets
mini cactus garden
(city stalker, heh heh)
I spotted an expanse of green, so I had to investigate further
It turned out to be Rushcutters Bay Park
with trees to hug
to my surprise, you can get away with almost anything in a city
the number of people walking around talking to themselves ensures this
(thanks to mobile phone technology ;)
a close approximation of a river
ahhh, but the Harbour!
makes up for a multitude of city sins
and nature extends her roots everywhere :)
I can't resist these exotic staircases
so up I go, I know not where...
I found a market!
I bought some goodies, and headed on down the road
into the infamous King's Cross
it is NOT as twisted as its reputation
in fact, I the recently installed spy-cameras will mostly record a community
doing its best to survive against all odds
creative inner city gardening
and I head back home
(a temporary one, I know,
but I have many!)
and later...
a sunset is always beautiful
wherever you are
