SOUVENIR FROM A VACATION - MY PENCIL DRAWING OF SYDNEY

Fort Worth, TX

I went to Sydney Australia and up to the Great Barrier Reef a few years back. I bought this pencil drawing from a local Artisan while I was in Sydney. I have it framed in my hallway with a lot of other pictures that I have either purchased or taken of my journies. I have dedicated this area to my travels.

I absolutely fell in love with Australia. The people, the food, the scenery, the history, EVERYTHING! One day I'd like to go back and visit a while longer. So much more to see and do. If I didn't live here I could live in Australia easily.

I've had quite a few holidays in Sydney, Melbourne and up the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. OZ is a great place to visit, and great places for the tourists to see.

I haven't made it across to Sydney yet, (well it is about 3000 miles.) Hope to one day.
This is a terrific mememto, Cindi.

the artist certainly detected the pulse of this vibrant city...great tension from the contrast and composition, and the two boats on a collision course...a great souvenir expertly photographed...V

Nice print and perfect reminder of good times travelled - but the colonialist in Canada are closer :)
