A morning in Sydney Downtown is bustling with energy and excitement. It’s October and the onset of spring down under and as the morning sun gains warmth, one can see the early morning traffic of joggers in the Sydney harbours and parks. The occasional horn of the boats moving out of the Darling Harbour and Sydney Harbour break the morning tranquility as the morning shops prepare for meeting a gregarious flow of tourists and locals later in the day. As the sun begins to rise, the city streets are already bustling with people on their way to work, school or to grab a coffee. Despite the chaos of the morning commute, the vibrant energy of Sydney Downtown is infectious, and it's a great place to start the day.
An early morning stroll to the Sydney Harbour presents the Sydney Opera House in all its grandeur silhouted against a beautiful rising sun, surrounded by golden bay water reflecting the golden hour light. The view of the Sydney Opera House from the Dawes Point reserve across the harbour is specially amazing at it puts the backlit sunrise light as a great background to the architecture marvel.
