Winter


0706 Darling Harbour

It's a tough look, isn't it? Winter in Sydney? When the weather is kind (not necessarily warm, but sunny) and the sky is blue and for me, there is so much more energy than is sapped by summer's humidity.

This is some of the structure of the Exhibition Centre at Darling Harbour, west of the CBD of Sydney, where the quilt show is held.

Winter in other places I've been is lowering and endlessly cloudy skies, the day ending so early and the streetlights reflected from the low clouds, weak and dreary light. Not this brilliant light and blue, blue sky. We're fortunate. June had a lot of rain, too, so we're doubly fortunate - the dams are up to 50% full now.
