It was a delight to find that I had a gorgeous view of Sydney Harbor as I flew out of Australia. It is one of the most famous in the world, and one of the most beautiful.

It was a marvelous trip but it is so good to be home. I'm sure lots more photos will be emerging in the days to come.

wonderful shot, Tonia! Glad the plane offered such a great view.

Welcome home! I look forward to seeing each and every photo that you took. Sydney Harbor is beautiful. Especially for being a city harbor, the water color is vivid, and almost shockingly blue. Wonderful shot from an airplane.

What a beautiful shot. You were definitely on the right side of the plane. I would love to see this in person!

What a great shot, Tonia!
Welcome home.
Alexis Newell Mar 21, 2009, 1:49am EDT
Great picture, I can't wait to see the rest of them. I really want to travel to Sydney at some point.
Granny Janny H. Mar 21, 2009, 1:52am EDT
Australia is on my bucket list. I am so looking forward to the rest of your trip. Welcome home.

THAT'S the shot! The bridge, the opera house, the harbour. As Orstralian as flies buzzing around a discarded lamington. I feel a Peter Allen song coming on..

So glad you're home safe and sound Tonia, perhaps more than a little weary, but no doubt very content. I believe we have some yarns to share here on Gather and mine's just about ready to go, I'm just deciding between the snap of you scuba diving or in the mud wrestling bar...

*waves to Debbie too*

Gorgeous!

Picture perfect! What a farewell for you, Tonia and a beautiful ending. So glad you are home safe and almost sound (heh) and I'm sure Carolyn's bit will be tasteful.............

HOORAY!!!! Tonia's home!

And that's a great shot. And it has all the Sydney famous landmarks. Hmmm... The Sydney tourism bureau may want to talk to you about a licensing arrangement, you know?

great shot...and glad you're home safe
Duckie 1 Mar 21, 2009, 11:28am EDT
Welcome home, Tonia! What a GREAT postcard-perfect shot!Roy is right, you need to copyright that photo and make sure the Tourism Bureau sees it!




*Psst, Caro... how much do you need for those pictures when you email them over?

Amazing blue. It looks like liquid Lapis lazuli.
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Mar 21, 2009, 1:28pm EDT
Gorgeous! How exciting!
Katrina Hall Mar 21, 2009, 1:54pm EDT
Wow - that is one gorgeous photo, Tonia!
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Mar 21, 2009, 6:56pm EDT
This is a beautiful view and photo. I don't think I've ever seen one this nice.

I love all the blue water.
jessie voigts Mar 22, 2009, 10:18am EDT
just gorgeous, tonia! thanks for sharing...

Yes, I was pretty pleased with being able to capture that moment on my way out. I am finally starting to sort out all the photos and other things that needed my attention (including a whole lot of sleep) and will start posting more photos in the next day or so.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome home.
Pamela L. Mar 23, 2009, 11:30am EDT
I was wondering about the exit. Everything you offer is a rare gem to me since I know so little about your beautiful home. So I am enjoying it all with a child's first delight. You have my captured attention.
Madame Donna C. Mar 23, 2009, 10:38pm EDT
I was certain I'd already commented here, but apparently I dreamed it. Great shot of the harbor, T.

It's a beautiful view and photo.
