Curious reflections of windows

I have noticed a very peculiar pattern or rather patters the reflections of windows of this office tower produced. We think of windows as rather perfectly flat and uniform and yet if you look at these reflections it is very clear there are significant variations between the quality of each individual window.

Perhaps one of the visitors here can explain this phenomenon.

PS: I have changed the colour scheme for this website to something a lot brighter to celebrate upcoming second anniversary of operations of the “Digital Photo Gallery” website. I hope you like it.

The mint

The mint museum

The mint museum

Built between 1811 and 1816 as the southern end of the Sydney Hospital it became a mint in 1854 when gold was discovered in New South Wales. It was the first Royal Mint outside of England. It operated as mint until 1926.

Today it is an interesting museum and the building itself is part of Historic Trust.

Another interesting find for today was this highly reflective building facade. The panels and windows were set at an angle and thus reflected both the people below and the buildings above. Quite a surreal arrangement.

Photographing architecture and a photographer

Photographing architecture and a photographer MG_6415

I have met a mystery photographer today in Sydney. A lady in late 40s perhaps early 50s was photographing MLC building both from the outside and the inside. She even had to explain to security what she was doing as they were concerned over the building copyrights.

I have approached her and introduced myself while showing her this photograph. She was photographing the same space as I was and I can guess she will have me in her frame positioned exactly the same as she was here. She said she likes photographing architecture and that she is an exhibited photographer but would not disclose her identity.
