Normally Sydney is a cockroach-infested mess of expensive housing, unfair rent and $12 food court lunches but today?
Today it is a million goddamn photographs of the Sydney Opera House.
Welcome to #snapsydney.
What is #snapsydney? It’s just your everyday hashtag designed to christ I don’t know, get people taking pictures of Sydney for some reason?
I’m inclined to be cynical about it, but it is a nice reminder that Sydney isn’t always a bustling mess of human flesh and misery.
Look at these lovely photos.

But of course it’s become a battleground for people pushing agendas and whatnot.
