Found a book in Berkolouw's last night with an old (mmm ... 1880s) image of Macquarie St with warehouses all along where the toaster is now. Think I will try to reproduce the shot in a nowadays version.
Lindz, I don't have any old images of Circular Quay. These new apartments replaced office buildings, which were probably built around the 1950s.
Julie, I'd be keen to see some of those photos of old warehouses here. I remember seeing some photos of the old tram sheds at the current site of the Opera House.
I'm always a sucker for waterfront photographs and these are great.
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective. The people who live in those apartments certainly have an amazing view!
ReplyDeleteSuperb capture!

ReplyDeleteLike the aspect of this shot of yours, Jim.
Shame about the ugly apartment block. However they don't look so bad in your clever shot.
ReplyDeleteHI Jim it's fantastic. I still can't believe the big block building was allowed o be built there.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderin if you have any photo of the now and then of circular quay?
