Sydney. That is all

Last night, just a typical Thursday night in Sydney and I went to see a movie.  As you do.

I saw the Opera House, Luna Park, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the city skyline, boats in the harbour and the twinkling offices of the commercial hub of Sydney all to the soundtrack of Nine

Normally when you go to a movie you are destined for some large shopping mall or perhaps if you are lucky, a cinema complex in the midst of some suburban sprawl. But not in Sydney, not in summer.  Summer time in Sydney you get to see movies outdoors.  Not only outdoors where you can breathe in the movie and not feel like a claustrophobic sardine (ok that is just me – the one with a panic attack at the ready at the thought of a long movie in a small theatre) , but outdoors where you get to witness the most amazing view that Sydney has to offer.  Not just a movie and a view but excellent dinner choices and $13 drinks.  Okay I admit the $13 drink was not compulsory but it was bloody delicious and worth about $3.75.

I was not born in Sydney, not even in Australia and I am still amazed at the beauty that is Sydney. I know that this sounds clichéd and trite but I look out at the harbour and I am mesmerised at the magnificence that is the backdrop of the city.  I am in awe of it.  Every time.

Long ago, before I had Little Pencil and I was a fit, corporate chick I used to work in North Sydney and in the evenings, after work I would run across the bridge (not the scared running away from stuff run that I perfected in South Africa but the fitness, endorphin lifting run).  It still boggles my mind to think that I could look at this awe inspiring harbour, the sun setting, the city lights igniting and the people driving home from work every night and it was part of the world in which I lived.  In summer I tried to swim lengths in the pool next to Luna Park but the view was so superb that I often struggled to breathe (that and I am a shocking long distance swimmer).

I grew up a 5 hour drive from the closest beach so beaches were always a holiday affair for me.   Now I live on holiday.  I can go to the beach every single day if I want to, I can stare at the huge blue ocean and stand on the soft powder like sand.  I can immerse myself in the water and be a part of the ocean and I can do it on a Tuesday afternoon after school or a Thursday morning at 9am or anytime I like, not just a determined weekend beach day.

I love living in Sydney.  Not just the views, not just the beautiful landscape and the phenomenal city skyline but the diversity of people and the experiences this city has provided for me.  I am thrilled and excited that my child will grow up taking this all for granted.

Do you see the beauty of your city if you have never known any other?

*I took these photos on my iPhone at the outdoor movie.  You see living in Sydney even without amazing photographic equipment, filters, special effects and with absolutely no clue about photography – you can capture wondrous scenes (even if they are fuzzy and grainy)
