Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

Photos: Circular Quay, Sydney

July 21st 2009 08:46
I had a lovely stroll around The Rocks and Circular Quay yesterday.

I went to a press conference at Walsh Bay, where I photographed sassy starlet Sienna Miller, who is even more beautiful in person. As it was a perfect sunny day I walked around the Bay to Circular Quay Train Station.

These are the photos of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House that I took while I soaked up the sunlight in The Rocks. Note the striking blue sky and deep tranquil water. It was a great day for puddling around the tourist traps.

Very pretty.

hi Natalina,

haha well im probably cheating in that i dont actually live under Sydney Harbour Bridge or in the Opera house . . . they are probably the two most famous landmarks in all of Australia, very popular tourist spots, so we keep them looking immaculate

i should take some of a few places from my local local area, im sure Swansea Bridge in Newcastle will not impress anyone at all
