The new wharf in Johnstons Bay at Pyrmont, beside what will soon be known as Pirrama Park. This shot is looking up towards Harris Street and Elizabeth Piazza, which runs along the foreshore. The block of redeveloped flats on the right is The Elizabeth, which was once the office block for CSR Limited. This shot is in the opposite direction to the garden of poles that are remnants of the old wharf that I featured last weekend.

Your shot of the new wharf is beautiful, Jim. Its great that they are redoing this wonderful area.

This picture makes me want to take a walk!
ReplyDeleteAgain, I'm so impressed with the wonderful job of renovation and preservation your city and suburbs are doing.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I can't wait to see your tunnel shot. Mine was a fluke -- I don't know how I did it. I took about 10 as we drove through and all of the rest were completely unusable. I need to learn how to keep track of my camera settings.... (so much to learn, so little time).
Fantastic view. Love the leading line of the walkway.
ReplyDeleteI like the perspective view of the wharf leading to the tall buildings in the distance..nice composition!
ReplyDeleteThe more I see of this place, the more I like it. This wharf is just perfect and I see also what seem quite peculiar benches...
ReplyDeletenice composition and the color distribution.. great shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the wharf, Jim. I like these waterfront re-developments, out with the old - in with the new. Sad, but a way of life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy it must be to walk upon that wood, feeling the movement of the sea beneath...
ReplyDeletePlease have a nice weekend.
Thanks for all your kind words everyone and thanks The Caffeinated Globe for awarding my blog. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful place for an afternoon stroll.
ReplyDeleteAhh, sunny Sydney... the little black block looks nice - would be nice to have an apartment there looking out to the water, with floor to ceiling windows :)
ReplyDeleteLove the view. Love to visit there one day. Great reflection shot as always. Have a nice weekend
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture. Fantastic reflections.
ReplyDeleteNobody in sight, did you tape off the area so you don't get people ruin your perfect photo?
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, I appreciate how you always explain the area and let us know what is happening. The waterfront will be very attractive.
ReplyDeleteNew from old! I wish I could say this for myself!!
Nice shot and interesting perspective. Its all looking clean and tidy. great to see old bildings been given a new life.
ReplyDeleteWonderful reflection photo!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I was there at the end of the day and when the last group of people were leaving I quickly got in there for a snap. Then I just waited until the joggers and walkers had moved out of view to get a perfect shot.
