All quiet on the Sydney waterfront

I had to go down to the Sydney Theatre Company box office to exchange ticket dates for a forthcoming production. The box office along with the Company's offices and two of the theatres it uses are located in a refurbished former cargo wharf.

After making my transaction I wandered along the adjoining wharf. It was still reasonably early - just after 9am - and cloudy and few people were about. The harbour was quiet too.

I couldn't resist taking a quick video snapshot of the scene.



Panning from east to west, some fisherman are nearby, a boutique hotel is in the refurbished wharf that sits in the shadow of the roadway leading onto the Harbour Bridge, a train is rattling across the Harbour Bridge, the North Sydney business district can be seen across the harbour, Blues Point Tower sticks out on the foreshore like a sore thumb, Balmain foreshore is in the distance looking west and then some more refurbished wharves where new offices and apartments are located are visible.
