Crows Nest, community centre

This fountain featuring a fascinating mosaic with an aquatic theme is located in the pedestrian mall outside the community centre, in the northern suburb of Crows Nest.

  1. A very common design composition one can find in Australian University students projects.. I have seen such designs many times on both drawings and architectural scale models! This geometry of this one is beautiful ...

  15. Glennis, the suburb was named after a cottage called "The Crow's Nest", built by Edward Wollstonecraft on the highest point of his estate.

  25. Oh, I'm glad I came back to see this wonderful mosaic, Jim. You know I really like all sorts of urban art. I am not one to nudge anyone to come to my blog, Jim, but I know you too like art and I think you really might like the installation in Kobe I posted about this week.
