First impressions of Sydney

I chose the above cover photo because it has been my view for most of the last six days, with the sunshine replaced by rain. Since I've landed in Sydney, it's been either soaking wet, or I've been laid low by jet lag. What walking I've done, three ten-mile treks, has been limited to the few moments when the sun comes out and the streets blossom with people heading to the cafes and pubs, before the dark clouds move in again, drenching everything and everyone.
