Finally, Sydney is open again to tourists after 20 months of closed borders.
It will certainly take time for tourists to filter back through the city of Sydney again, but it’s a great start.
Capturing the CBD empty was so rare, it may never look like this again for another 100 years.
I just wanted to share some more images which had been converted to black and white as I think it makes them look more authentic.
They have been added to the gallery ‘Sydney in Black and White’ and available as wall art prints.
The ones I selected today are of particular interest as they are normally such popular tourist locations and yet so empty.
Caption details are below on each image.
