This steel staircase links the rows of old and new terrace houses high on the hill at Dawes Point to the Walsh Bay wharves on the harbour. The exposed sandstone and sandstone retaining walls give this area some great character and you don't see many of these sorts of steel staircases around the city in public areas. It is located opposite Pottinger Park and the Three Sisters artwork that I featured yesterday.

Great stairs.
ReplyDeleteI like the contrasting walls and the cool staircase!
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteHow can you possibly be everywhere Jim?
ReplyDeleteI think this place looks familiar to me. You must be having a long nose lens to capture such beauty.
May I insert a note to Lois?
Lois, please I want to comment in yours but I can't! My post won't get through. Just to let you know I am thinking of you.
Bonnie Bonsai, I like to explore this city. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how time just adds to the character of limestone structures.
ReplyDeleteSuch a terrific staircase, I love it. Beautiful buildings! And, of course, a marvelous photo as always! Hope you have a great week!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful structures.

Those stairs look like they could offer a great work-out! I could use a flight or two of those in my neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteCan you see vast expanses of water from the top floors of those houses and flats?
ReplyDeleteYes, Hels. You do get some great views of the wharves and the harbour from a lot of those terrace houses and flats up there.
ReplyDeletebeautiful composition!
ReplyDeleteThe new Terrace houses, are there 3 apartments or just one in one block?
ReplyDeleteAnn, they're not apartments, they are terrace houses. That means there's three separate three-storey houses, sitting side by side.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very much like seaside towns in England....
ReplyDeleteOh I love photos of stairs, doors and windows. They are very unique and a talking point.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeletequesta casa con la scalinata in ferro, ricorda molto il nostro stile mediterraneo.
Se verrai a visitare l'Italia, di case e scale così ne vedrai molte :-)
Molto bella questa foto.
Buona giornata.
Now that's a striking photo - great composition.
ReplyDeleteahh! this is sublime photography.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the canal on the backside of Georgetown in Washington DC...
ReplyDeleteYes, it is interesting - the old and the new. Nice visual photo. Thanks for sharing.
