Theme Day - My favourite part of town


Centennial Park is one of my favourite parts of Sydney - but I have many. It has wild sections, it has manicured areas, it has garden beds and lakes, children's playgrounds and equestrian fields. Truly Centennial Park is a place for 'everyman'.

    But the picnic table.... there's something very discontinuous about it's presence, as though it's just arrived, or just leaving perhaps.

    I think I should like to be sitting at it right now, or perhaps better in an hour or two.

    I think this would be my favorite place, too. I love the old trees and the emerald green grass.

    Easy to understand why, with such a beautiful and impressive colonnade. I'd like to meet you at that table for lunch one day.

    Oh Beirut could use a park like that! If we had one, then maybe I'd have a favorite part of town too--as it is, my favorite place remains somewhat metaphorical.

    What a wonderful avenue of huge trees. This looks like it is part of a Harry Potter story.
