'Sydneycentric'

As a freelance writer I spend a large part  of my life in splendid isolation, totally wrapped in the cloak of self inflicted observation. It comes as a shock when I have to confront the wheels of industry first hand. This happened today when I ventured into the city to meet a friend for lunch. Help!...they move so much faster and life is oh so transient in a big city.

All praise to the City of Sydney for its colourful banners that bring a soul into the pulsating heart of Sydney.

The Sydney CBD isn't at its visual best on a rainy day, and its drivers are at their very worst.

A bright ray of colour amongst the grey of the day was reflected from the windows of Carla Zampatti's shop on Elizabeth Street.

In contrast, only 50m's away, the grey and lifeless winter face of the Great Synagogue.

Cross the road and you're confronted with a mirror image, as Hyde Park, dressed in its winter cloak, tries to decide which path to take?

Baby it's wet outside



 
As with all global cities its a case of "if you can't beat e'm, then join'em".
