If you had a choice to use the hotel’s fitness centre, (which just happened to be right opposite your hotel room) or go out into the city of Sydney for an early morning run/walk, what would you choose?
I chose to go out into the city at the crack of dawn and left the delights of the fitness centre behind me. I wanted to take in the sights and sounds of the city. I always do this when I’m in the city so it was a no brainer for me. But maybe you would have answered differently – there’s nothing wrong with that. I just happen to enjoy soaking up the city vibe whenever I can, as it is so far removed from my usual country lifestyle, as to make me think I’ve landed on a different planet sometimes.
The sights of Sydney are well worth seeing and it has a lot of history behind it. Here are a few shots from my morning’s outing which fit in with the theme of behind.
I am also using this post for Hugh’s Weekly photo challenge Week 16:Behind You could also say that these photos are in front of each other, it’s just a different perspective I suppose.
Thanks Hugh for the opportunity to share my photos from my walk this morning and I hope you enjoyed seeing some of Sydney’s icons with me.
Would you have left the hotel fitness centre behind too?

I would have left the hotel too, as long as I knew I was safe outside. Great photos!

What a lovely tour of Sydney, Deb. So pleased you didn’t choose the gym. Great photos, but I especially like the one of the church.
Thank you for participating in my weekly photo challenge.

That’s my pleasure Hugh. You know I nearly didn’t include that one of the church because I wasn’t happy with the light, but I kept coming back to it because I loved the orange light in the windows lit up from behind! I’m so glad I went with it after all.

I would’ve come out for a run with you Debbie. Actually I would have walked! Nothing beats getting out and about and exploring a new city, even if we’ve been there before. Lovely photos and a great take on Hugh’s “behind” theme as well.

Thanks for that Miriam, you would have been most welcome! I probably walked more than I ran due to the number of people about. It’s always a treat for me to see the sights and I never tire of them. Glad my photos worked for the theme.

It would’ve depended on the weather. My friend Jeannie was in Sydney yesterday and I can see by her pictures that the weather was beautiful. However if it has been 3°C and heavy rain like we had here yesterday, I would’ve used the gym😀. Perhaps I’ll get to make that choice one day😊

Yes that is very true. The weather plays an important role in making such a decision! I was lucky as it was very warm, so I didn’t have that issue to consider. Hopefully one day you get to make that choice too. 😊☀️ always nice to hear from you.
