Flower lovers tend to think that spring is the best time of the year. Maybe they are right, but autumn, too, can offer very nice views – at least in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney.
This post will take you to this magic garden, located right behind the Sydney Opera House. I spent a cloudy autumn afternoon strolling through the gardens with my camera. And I have to say I very much liked what I saw.
With many exotic flowers in bloom, the gardens really had a colourful flower show going on. Not a bad autumn day!
