The Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour, viewed from the boardwalk beside Pyrmont Bay. The Australian National Maritime Museum was designed by Phillip Cox and opened in 1991. The museum houses exhibitions that explore Australia's links with the sea and how maritime activities and issues have shaped the lives of people in Australia. The Pyrmont Bay ferry wharf, the museum's Welcome Wall and the Cape Bowling Green Lighthouse can be seen from here.

Very nice photo.Greetings Andrzej.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting view, I didnt get far enough away when I visited.
ReplyDeleteGood composition, like that combination of shapes. Very interesting building.
ReplyDeleteAmazing building.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day:)
Greetings.
I am still not sure about this building style, sort of a shortened form of of the Sydney Opera house? I guess the sails and knots are there. Happy SWF JIm!
ReplyDeleteTitania, yeah, I believe the shape of the roof is supposed to remind you of the shape of sails and the rolling waves of the ocean.
ReplyDeleteblue and white = perfect combination.
ReplyDeleteWonderful light J Bar!
ReplyDelete...and composition!
Regards from Romania!
Beautiful shot. Although, as a Sydneysider, I really don't enjoy this kind of post-post modern style.
ReplyDeleteReminds me a lot of Nauticus and the Hampton Roads Naval Museum in Norfolk, Virginia. My wife and I spent the entire day there this past summer and still didn't see everything.
ReplyDeleteNice shaped roof - reminds me of the Opera House in a rounded sort of way. Will have to look in there next time we are town
ReplyDeleteStill Waters
Love the angles, and the composition.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you take me around Sydney.

ReplyDeletePeaceful waters for all of you. The roof indeed fits all too well.
ReplyDeletedaily athens
Interesting architecture in a great composition. Love the white (and of course the blue!
ReplyDeletehat is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI like the perspective you have on this.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or is that building just a little bit reminiscent of the Opera House??
ReplyDeleteHappy travels!!
Very cool!
ReplyDeleteRed Nomad OZ, it's not just you. The roof formations on Sydney Opera House are described as sails and this design intentionally has a nautical theme.
ReplyDeletebeautiful wavy pattern, probably inspired by the Sydney Opera House. great shot.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a gorgeous building! It is perfectly situated, too, to be a maritime museum. Thank you for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Outdoor Wednesday from Florida!
XO,
Sheila :-)
what a fabulous looking building!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot of a beautiful city, love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the architectural design of the Australian National Maritime Museum. It has that very interesting view and architectural design that invites every passerby to come and see the beauty of the sea within the walls of the museum.
ReplyDeleteI have been traveling in search of different architectural design for our city's museum and this gave me a very interesting view on how to design my own. Soon, I'll have to do my design with a Mitutoyo coordinate measuring machine and hopefully, the clients will approve it immediately.
Nice one Jim. It's an interesting building.
ReplyDeletebeautifully framed
ReplyDeleteGood composition. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteI am with David. The design of the Australian National Maritime Museum maximises the watery environment and makes going through the museum seem like the visitor is walking along a ship.
ReplyDeleteAustralia seem to like this shape on buildings. :)
ReplyDeleteThose were gorgeous photo's. Happy Outdoor Wednesday.
