About Me (Barbara Weibel)

Barbara Weibel After years of working 70 hours a week at jobs I detested, I felt like the proverbial "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside, but empty on the inside. Searching for meaning in my life, I abandoned my successful but unsatisfying career and set out on a six-month solo backpacking trip around the world to pursue my true passions of travel, writing, and photography.

North Sydney, as seen from the foot of the Harbour Bridge, with its waterfront amusement park

Walking along "The Rocks," the oldest area of Sydney, looking toward old brick warehouses and factories that have been converted to restaurants and shops

Sydney's ferry marina, with boats to almost anywhere

And finally, although there have probably been a zillion photos taken of Sydney’s famous Opera House, and I’m sure these lend nothing new to the body of works, I felt compelled to add two more photos of the Opera House, one at midday and the other at sunset:

    I enjoyed your photo tour of Sydney Harbour. It brought back memories of my visit there in the 1990s. A group from Louisiana went to the Giant Omelet Festival in New Caledonia. We visited Sydney on the way back. I enjoyed it very much.
    You are enjoying a great and interesting life. Keep it up.
    Amour et lumiere,
