Norwegian Spirit leaving Sydney by ankers70

Norwegian Spirit leaving Sydney

Pilot boat in front and tug behind to make sure of a safe passage under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. On the right behind the pilot boat is a Harbour Ferry waiting to let this giant cruise ship pass.

Very grey weather all evening so the sky dull and overcast.

Taken last night from the Sydney Opera House Northern Foyer, just before the start of Gluck's 'Orpheus and Eurydice' presented by Opera Australia. Wonderful performance.

Uploading early as a long day travelling tomorrow, en route to Port MacDonnell in South Australia.

Fabulous perspective and framing.

The ferry is massive.

The ferry on the RHS waiting near the shore and looks little but the cruise ship is truly massive @wakelys

@ankers70 I meant to say cruise ship rather than ferry.

looks like a rainy day and a tight fit.

Great photo. Australia is on my list of countries to visit. I'd love to go to the Opera House!

I know that bridge!! And the weather tonight is lousy as well.

That is an impressive size of ship passing under the bridge. An interesting shot.

Both the ship and the harbor are a great sight!

Can the ship make it under the bridge? From this pov it looks like it may lose part of the funnel but I'm sure they know what they are doing. Beautiful shot and activity on the river.

Thankyou all for your visit and comments. @ludwigsdiana @joansmor @annied @pusspup

Thankyou. I shall look forward to you visiting and the Opera House is worth visiting for a performance not just looking at it from outside, although that's pretty good, too! @corinnec

There were a couple of breaks in the weather but it rained pretty well the whole time we were in Sydney. @johnfalconer

Thankyou all for your comments. Much appreciated. @fishers @kork @haskar @phil_howcroft

It was pretty close from my perspective but probably more room than there looked to be. @robz @sangwann

Great shot. They do come close to the bottom of the bridge!

Good morning. Every time I see the big cruise ships go
safely under the bridge I am amazed that they make it. @johnfalconer
