Sydney - A City Mourns

My heart goes out to the victims, the victim’s families, and to the residents of Sydney. 

Their lives will never be the same as a result of yesterday’s horrific incident.

The first thing I saw when I arrived back at my hotel this morning:

The walk towards the crime scene

A City Mourns

 

The Crime Scene

 

Sydney - Yesterday & Today

Sad Day in Sydney

As I write this, 3 hostages that were being held in the Sydney Siege have escaped. 

But it is still a sad day in Sydney.  

Streets are empty.  

Buses are empty.  

Stores are empty.

Tbey closed my beloved Royal Botanic Gardens

 

Hostages being held near my hotel right now

Martin Place Sydney Cafe Siege

In all seriousness... hope for a peaceful outcome

I'm at the Westin - less than 1000ft from the scene
