The City Slept


After the concert the other night at around 12:15 I just drove around the city which for the most part was empty. What a wonderful feeling having the bustle hushed. It was a little like a ghost town though, minus the sage brush and tufts of grass!
I saw two pedestrians and about 6 cars in total! I will visit the city again at this time in the future and spend a couple of hours just photographing the city, it was a very interesting perspective of the Sydney I love. I thought I would share a couple of things I saw of the streets and the Queen Victoria building, and one of it's awnings. I also took a picture of a couple of window displays. I took more than you see here, but I just liked the mix. Thank you everyone for visiting my blog. I sit at 1985 people who have visited here, some on numerous occasions but it is exciting that with 15 more people I will have had 2,000 people come to my blog! WOW. I was with a couple of friends last night, Jim and Lydia and amongst other things we discussed the excitement I feel on reaching 2,000 and laughed because Jim has had nearly 600,000 visits to his blog! He mentioned that it had occurred over a three year period though. So I have two years more to go! It has been an interesting time to reflect on the purpose for why this blog exists. For me, it is a vehicle for expression. I love the medium and the chance I have to write. I sometimes find supporters and sometimes detractors of my statements and views but it is refreshing and enjoyable overall. Thank you all. as I edited this, I have now had more than 2006 vistors. HUGE!!!

Congratulations on passing your 2000 visitors mark Craig!

A moment to ‘number-crunch’:

At today’s count (2,024), you are receiving approximately 49 visitors per day.

If you continue with the same daily rate of visitors, in three years time you will have had close to 54,000 visitors to your blog.

It is a marvellous medium. Before starting your blog, did you have the opportunity to express yourself and share your thoughts with 49 people every day?

I'm so glad I suggested you start your own blog all those months ago then...although I know it would've been just a matter of time as I know you love to write and express your thoughts - you're never short of them!

Keep blogging...I am just a small part of your 2000+ visitors. In fact, I don't get to visit as often these days but always good to see you are living, loving and laughing!

Peace xxx
