A glimpse of Sydney from Sydney Tower

An average temperature these days in Sydney is 8C-17C.  It is pretty cold for us specially in the morning. I reluctant to walk outside in a cloudy and windy day.( Anyone does of course)

Sydney tower is a tallest tower in a southern hemisphere which stands 309m.   The world tallest tower i SKYTREE in Tokyo, which is 634m.   I didn't have a chance to go up to SKYTREE when I was in Tokyo this time.

Tower throw her appearance on near-by building

Hyde Park and St Mary Cathedral

Darling Harbour,The star (Casino) and Anzac bridge
Good thing about Sydney tower is that height, comfortably you can spot the places such as the airport, Opera house,Harbour Bridge, Heritage buildings,  Coves, Parks , even Blue mountains.

You see few of Sydney here, and if you want to see more, you can fly into Sydney and have a look around by yourself.  Tower never goes away!!

Sydney beach this week a la carte

A rage of the ocean left the souvenir on Bronte beach this week.  It is unusual to see blue bottles in a winter time,because they are drifted by a warm current, but that means the water temperature is not that bad. Seaweed jut look like the beads of buddhist rosary are washed away and left in a rain.

I never forget good foods even in rainy days.  Sitting outside Specc cafe with a heater,  a vegetable wrap  with sweet potato chips and flat white satisfied our afternoon.

On sunday finally we had a beautiful blue sky. Amazingly size picked up surf  and people cheering up eating, walking and just sitting , cafe along beach were full of people, yes certainly it was a beautiful
sunday.

Part eclipse

Full moon night.
Does full moon give you a positive affection or negative?
Her power is so strong, if I have a moonbathe  for a certain amount of time, she will control over me but otherwise she is  very cool.

Last night a part of the moon was missing, there were no cloud, the moon phase was pretty much in full.

Part  eclipse, I recon.

This weekends in Melbourne


Am I insane to spend just one night in Melbourne??  What for???

When I knew Hiromi Uehara(A Japanese jazz pianist) was coming to Melbourne for Mel. international
jazz festival about 2 weeks ago,  I immediately purchased a ticket.  No hesitation.
Her schedule in Australia was only in Melbourne, not in Sydney so I have to fly toMelbourne. No hesitation.  Video above was in Feb. 2012 at Tokyou Jazz festival

She released her first album at 23y.o. and she has been hot for 10 years.
Her joyful energy is so powerful , and she is an amazing player, great composer and she quotes her   emotion into improvisation.

Anything else in Melbourne...?!? I googled " raw food restaurants"  and found very popular place is called Yong Green Food.  I determined to check it out.

Near Southern Cross station I took 112 tram to the centre of Brunswick St.where Yong Green Food was.
My choice was Rawsagna, which meant raw food version of Lasagne, and it was divine.
                                   
Brunswick has funky cafes, shops and graffiti on most of the walls, very cool...

At night after the concert, I cruised into Crown Casino at Southbank.
Saturday night, so you can imagine it would  be a place to be but it was beyond my imagination.
People,people more people , flood of people inside the huge complex were having dinner, throwing money on betting tables, that was incredible.
