This past week, I’ve been trying to fight off this cold to no avail. Argh, my constant hacking cough keeps me up awake at night – and disturbs the entire open-plan office during the day.

Anyway, since I still wasn’t up for joining the group for our weekly Friday evening kayak netball sessions, I decided wait for them to finish at Lavender Bay by catching the sunset at Milsons Point, just a bay over. I had high hopes for a color explosion at sunset, but alas, the cloud cover wasn’t in the right position. I could see the gorgeous hues of pink and orange south of Barangaroo, but not where I had my lens focused over the Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge.

No matter. It’s still a breathtaking view, one that never fails to remind me of how lucky we are to live in Sydney.
