At Darling Harbour

Last week, me and my friends went out to the City and one of our itinerary was to visit Darling Harbour, one of Sydney's waterfront destinations.
While we were strolling around the Harbour to take pictures, we spotted fish swimming close enough to the surface of the water as if they were desperately begging for food. We actually saw three, one was small and the other 2 were a good size. I hurriedly focused my camera straight to them but the smaller one swam down straight to the deep while the two started to display interesting swimming movements as if they were trying to catch our attention. It was just only for few seconds and quickly they disappeared. If I am not mistaken those fishes are called silver trevallyAnother creature that caught our attention was this big jelly fish swimming around slowly in the water. It was about the size of a basketball ball and my first time to see a jellyfish of that size.
And lastly, that's us together (minus the photographer) in one of the water features of Darling Harbour. This water feature is sometimes full of kids mostly on weekends and school holidays, playing the water or simply enjoying a walk around the water feature. At that time since it was a weekday, we were so lucky to have the water feature all by ourselves. :)Please visit Watery Wednesday for more watery sites all around the world.

Terrific shots Eden!
I love the bubbles in the fish shot and what a great photo of the jelly fish - so huge.
On a warm day that water feature would be a lot of fun for young and old.
Mine’s here: Round The Bend.

Hello Eden
Those are really nice shots of that part of Sydney
Last time I was there it was (as you say) packed with children and adults as well just walking round and round in the water - on a hot day it was quite cooling and calming

What a nice way to spend the day with your friends. The jellyfish photo is amazing. That's certainly something we don't get to see around here.

As usual, a very nice Watery Wednesday.
