This is Barangaroo in the leadup to the first WYD Mass yesterday — Panorama, Quicktime, Flash. Barangaroo is a a large area of wharfage which is due for conversion to parks, apartments etc shortly. Originally there were rocks and beaches here but they were excavated away in the 19C to make this cliff edge and the area for the wharf. Here is the Pope in his Popemobile whizzing past me in the Rocks last night (Thursday night) … Panorama, Quicktime. I got another panorama of the Pope on Sunday at Randwick Racecourse where he did a circuit of the enormous crowd before conducting the final Mass of WYD … panorama, Quicktime. Here from earlier in the week “Nuns on a Bus” … panorama Quicktime. These nuns venerate Saint Faustina, “the first saint of the Third Millenium”, and the painting they are holding represents one of her visions.

A warm sunny day today after a month of cool, wet weather …. panorama. This is Dawes Point after Captain Dawes of the First Fleet - who built the colony’s first observatory here. The ugly metal sign on the concrete pillar out in the water is a speed limit notice for boats. A little way along the shore towards the city is Campbells Cove — panorama — the site of the colony’s first Stores. The tall ship is the Svanen.

“During the opening week of the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Liquid Sea exhibition, Chinese performance artist Zhu Ming holds a number of water-based performances on Sydney Harbour - floating across the water inside a giant transparent bubble.” The pic shows the performance yesterday afternoon - shortly after the “bubble” was launched - in Farm Cove near the Opera House. Here is my panorama of him climbing into the bubble. Last year I did a panorama of another Chinese artist in a Sydney performance - Cang Xin at the Casula Powerhouse Gallery - buried up to his neck.
