A brilliant blue winter's sky above the Conservatorium Gate of the Royal Botanic Gardens, close to Macquarie Street and beside the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. The surrounding bushes in bloom are adding a bit of colour at this time of year.

That entrance almost has an 'eastern' feel to it Jim, with the peaks on the gates and behind. Looks so well maintained.
ReplyDeleteThe gates look beautifully designed and fit perfectly into the site. Do you have a date for those gates?
ReplyDeleteThe whole garden area looks well maintained and a good place for an afternoon walk.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely looking garden and I love the gates! They're perfect against those gorgeous blue skies! Superb capture for the day, Jim! Enjoy your weekend!

Hels, I haven't been successful in finding any history on these gates but I'll keep looking and let you know.
ReplyDeleteKeep forgetting it's winter where you are...amazingly blue skies! Wish we had skies like that more often in The Netherlands...
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!
Terrence looks at the sky
that is what i call an entrance.
ReplyDeleteI can see the castellated roof line of the Con in the far distance. These are lovely gates, great capture.
ReplyDeleteThe gates are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA lovely photo incorporating the colours around - The gates are very unusual - Lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sky!
ReplyDeleteMy Sky Watch, have a happy weekend!
Such a pretty entrance, and I'm betting the gardens are spectacular. Have a nice weekend. Mickie ;)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog. Love it
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely vivid colours!
ReplyDeleteThe sprinkles of bright red flowers and green leaves against the clear blue sky are indeed very eye-catching.
ReplyDeleteLovely blue sky and scene. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteI want to walk through those gates and see the other side, Jim. Lovely capture. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo much beauty, along with the sky. What a lovely place to visit!
ReplyDeleteI love the detail on these gates. I saw something equally complex out at Callan Park yesterday. I think a book could be worked up on the use of wrought iron in our city.
ReplyDeleteI have never noticed these impressive gates. Great photo.
