Crystal Symphony

I mentioned yesterday the cruise liners, this is the Crystal Symphony arriving and below it docked at Glebe Island. Glebe Island is only a temporary dock used in busy times. There were 3 liners in this Sunday morning.

Just another day.

Here I was working away when I looked up to see this floating past. I do enjoy see a mid day arrival.

Please forgive the poor photo as it was taken on the phone and through tinted glass.

Cruising in...

While I was actually working today I turned around to see this cruiseship coming in. It isn't too often you see them coming up the harbour in the middle of the day. 

A little wet, miserable and steamy!

Not the nicest day to be cruising into Sydney, but I guess it can't always be postcard perfect.

Stunning Sunday morning...

Taken a couple of hours ago as we headed up the harbour. 

Pacific Pearl

It was lovely to turn around and see the Pacific Pearl coming up the Harbour yesterday.

They normally come arrive at sunrise and depart at sunset, but yesterday it 2pm and I was around to capture it.
