Following on from my previous post about the architecture in Sydney, thought I'd post a few images from the neighbourhood I'm staying in at the moment, Surry Hills.  These shops date from about 1905, the terraced houses (below) I suspect must be similar.

And I'm loving the clarity of light you get here in winter, as in New Zealand - the combination of hard, bright sun and the low angled sun means it's quite beautiful all day; the sun is never high enough in the sky to be overhead, really!
