Sydney Sketches

Here are a few sketches I made whilst in Sydney. The view from the bedroom balcony where I was staying looked out over the cutest little back street. I really like the gracefull urban decay they have going on here and the little phone wires that criss cross the streets. Its like another time, not quite the steel and glass I was expecting from seeing pictures of the opera house on TV. The Flower is from a tree called a Frangipane (not just an Almond filling). I have since learnt that they only grow in the Syndey area, well at least not Melbourne as the climet is too cold. The fat tree and the cockatoo were in the botanical gardens. There are so many birds and bats in that park even saw an owl on the way home.
