Day 199... law

Law is nothing unless close behind it stands a warm living public opinion. ~Wendell Phillips

Another afternoon shift and another night with me wandering the streets of Adelaide at 11.30 looking for my photo of the day... lucky for me we have some beautiful buildings around the city.

Day 177... the Domain

Before venturing out for the day and exploring this little guy came to visit...



The Domain is 34 hectares  of open space in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is located on the eastern edge of the Sydney central business district, near Woolloomooloo. The Domain adjoins the Royal Botanic Gardens and is managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens Trust, a division of the New South Wales Department of Environment and Climate Change. It is a popular venue for outdoor concerts, open air events and for large gatherings and rallies.

I walked through the Domain to the Art Gallery of New South Wales to view the entrants in the Archibal Prize...





An instinctive taste teaches men to build their churches with spire steeples which point as with a silent finger to the sky and stars.”

Day 88... Photography has increased my awareness

The title is a quote from Andreas Carl and it is something that I find everyday thanks to my 365 project...
and so when I saw this comment written on a building I smiled

Plenty of "art work" everywhere to see on Brunswick Street



these bees and "meat-eating" plant above a florist

It must be getting close to Easter, for my friends in Oz who want a chance to win go to http://www.goldbunny.com.au/


Naked for Satan is a Basque-style pintxos bar which opened up late last year in Brunswick Street; cool place for drinks and tapas...

How things have changed...

Day 43... dashes of red

Wandering the streets of Melbourne I saw a lot of grey and greens but then I also came across dashes of red...
The Wharf Hotel on the waterfront is more a splash of red...


Opposite the Crown Casino along Rebecca Walk is a series of shops that are more like storage lockers... 
 This high-rise was just another high-rise but for me the dash of red had it standing out from the crowd...
