I am not sure if this classifies as “people” shot or is it a cityscape with a human element. Never the less I thought it was worth sharing simply because of the top down perspective.

The photograph of the man pumping out the water was taken at the entry to Town Hall Station from the Town Hall building.

I found it mildly amusing that this man and a woman both carrying business suits met in front of Giorgio Armani butique.

The reflection you see behind them is that of Sydney Post Office building in Martin Place.

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.

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.
