Our New Year's Eve Celebrations

Fireworks over the Sydney Opera House

Happy New Year

Citified

here in the city
the wind is colder
than memory.
people rush by...
why won't they stop and finish this poem?

Spring has sprung

Resplendent in a burst of yellow, Francis Street in Naremburn displays Australia’s floral emblem, the wattle. This photo is from Walk Sydney Streets Photos by Alan Waddell and that is him in the photograph.

Alan's walking discoveries book (including 100 c o l o u r photos) has now been published. It has over 2,400 unusual photos taken as Alan, 94, walked every street in the 287 suburbs of Sydney. It's available here

"Spring has sprung,
The Grass has riz,
I wonder where the birdies is?"
Frederic Ogden Nash
