Queen Elizabeth III in Sydney Harbour

In the past week Sydney has been fortunate to be visited by the cruise liners Queen Elizabeth III and Queen Mary for just 24 hours. I caught a bus to Circular Quay and drew the QEIII before work one morning, with the Harbour Bridge in the background. It is a huge, grand liner! To the right (out of frame) is the Opera House . What a scene !!!
