Mobile photography autostitch panorama of Sydney Harbor shot from suite 2515 of the Four Seasons Sydney.
Of all the Harbors (or Harbours) in the world, it’s Sydney Harbour I love the most. It’s got the architectural gem the iconic Sydney Opera House (take the tour, it’s fascinating), which always reminds you where you are.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb is one of the best run tourist attractions I’ve come across. It’s so well done, it’s one of my top “things to do in Sydney.”
You can take the nearby ferries from Circular Quay to the fantastic Taronga Zoo (where the Giraffes have million dollar views) or Luna Park amusement park which occasional hosts concerts by bands like Tenacious D and Kylie Minogue in addition to having all the usual rides and games.

Viewing the Sydney Harbour Bridge (mobile photography, hipstamatic)
Sydney’s magnificent opera building sits in Sydney Harbour. I took this shot using hipstamatic while taking a ferry back from Luna Park Sydney
Cities on the water have a certain charm, and because I’m so fond of the views of circular quay and the Opera House. During my last visit, I stayed at the top notch Four Seasons Sydney, where I got some of these amazing pictures of pink dawn from suite 2512. I also had a massage at the Four Seasons spa which was so relaxing, I actually fell asleep.

Morning View of the Harbour Bridge
Rain doesn’t ruin the view– it just makes Sydney’s Harbour more interesting. I shot both these mobile photography images with my iPhone 4s.

And while Sydney Harbour is always spectacular, it is most magical on New Year’s Eve. Check out the fireworks from a NYE I spent on the roof of the Park Hyatt Sydney.

On New Year’s Eve, Fireworks over Sydney Harbour are incredible. You get the best views of them from the recently renovated Park Hyatt Sydney and the fantastic Four Seasons Sydney.
