In 2010, Hyde Park celebrates its 200th Anniversary.

As a photographic tribute, Pete Longworth set out to capture the romance, beauty and elegance of Sydney’s Hyde Park, along with its vibrant surroundings.

This enchanting array of images is as much a display of extreme sensitivity, artistry and skill as it is an historical record. Timeless and iconic, it’s a unique take on the classic – a parade of those exquisite, fleeting moments when nature, light and life merge to make magic.

From sunrise joggers, leafy green vistas and evening romances, to glowing sunsets, electrical storms and heavenly light … it’s all here in this intimate collection.

Life on Top of Hyde Park beckons us all to deepen our appreciation of this unique oasis - to celebrate its Anniversary - and to stop and really consider the beauty at our City’s beating heart.
