Walking the Dog

Victoria St, Potts Point
The London plane tree is a widely used street planting in Sydney, due to its robust structure and resistance to urban conditions. Being deciduous it allows for winter sun and summer shade. Plane trees also have a noted tolerance to pollution and their broad leaves take many airborne particulate pollutants out of city air. They are criticised in some quarters for their high pollen levels and possible allergenic qualities in September.

I love them

Balcony view

From the balcony of a friend's house in Victoria St, Potts Point.

Looking across the landscaped roof of the Defence Forces parking, the finger wharf Woolloomooloo (shown yesterday), Opera House and Bridge.

We sat on his balcony, drank gin and tonic, and watched sunset over the bridge.
