sydney flavours

2023, august 7, cammeraygal (sydney)

sydney: the sky is so dazzlingly blue it seems endless, sea-turquoise and harbour-turquoise mingling, a thousand shades of green in wendy whiteley‘s secret garden, gigantic fairy-tale trees at every street corner, and birds displaying a palette of candyland colours. the soundscape melds ocean murmurs, the hum of the highway, korean chatter, birds sounding like laughing monkeys, shrieking cockatoos, and the constant backdrop of waves splashing and pools splattering. and in summer, purple trees and a whiff of lemon tree scent everywhere. it smells of clean streets and tamed people and asian grocery stores. sea-salty pool water on my lips. and spicy korean chicken. the sun wakes me up every morning, immersing the entire bedroom in an incredible orange light.
