Sculptures By the Sea

Every year since 1997 people have been traipsing the Tamarama to Bondi walk for Sculptures By The Sea. Sculptures is one of the better outdoor exhibitions in Sydney, it relates really well to the surrounding landscape. Sadly, it is only on for three weeks usually in November but this year it was pulled forward into October.


Taking in a Tamarama Surf Lifesaving Club sausage sandwich before battling the masses on the walk.


















I would recommend going in the first week or on a weekday to beat the crowds. I went with a friend on the first Sunday and arrived at Tamarama at about 8am and just beat the crowds.

Shine A Light

'tis the New Year. I like to celebrate with an eight hour shift at work followed by an hour and a half trip home because I don't look at the bus timetable. Near Newtown Police Station there is this little stand thingo where people of the community has made tiles to decorate this somewhat bland walkway. Thought I'd check it out a bit considering it is usually at this point where I just want to get home.

Theres my mate Marx. Kicking back in Newtown.

How much does one need? - 01/01

Met up with T to get our burger on at Grill'd and see The Social Network. It was around this time last year when I discussed with T my plans for a 'Photo-A-Day' project. I am yet to come up with something as interesting or lenghty. I think I will just continue with what I am doing for my Resolutions.
Bondi Junction cinemas (and mall) are a bitch to navigate on a Sunday night. Everything was shut off. We asked a guard. With a massive sigh he let us througha gate to the elevator which went up to the carpark which we walked through to get to the cinema. This photo is from said carpark. Nice view except for the giant Westfileds promo. 

The Social Network. One of my fav films for 2010. Def would see it again.

The low hum of electricity - 02/01

Bad thing about Christmas is the chocolate. I got a bag of coins from Santa and whilst working on my comp mangaed to nail half a bag. Resulting in a mixed feeling of ill and shame.

Wish it were real monies - 03/01

P came back from her overseas jaunt (Tassie is over a body of water). Paid a bit of a visit. Forgot to take a photo. These are some of those awful high rise flats in the Surry Hills end of Redfern.

Looming over the city - 04/01

They would have a pretty good view over to Centennial Park and Moore Park. I couldn't stand living in such high density housing.

Would you like some ice-cream?

City 2 Surf! I didn't run, I did watch on looking for inspiration for my upcoming run though. After watch the three guys finish the 14km race and seeing the lines at Bondi Hotel we decided it was best to leave the suburb.  

Rocky outcrop - 08/08

Brisk walk was what these guys needed after a 14km run. A walk to Coogee was agreed upon. Doubt many of us realised it was a 6km walk. I enjoyed it, then again I didn't do the run. The following beers and dinner were fantastic.
