The Australian flag flies at St George Hospital in the southern suburb of Kogarah. The building is not remarkable but I was fascinated by this retro sign, with the raised lettering and logo, on this refurbished building facing Belgrave Street. I've been spending some time here recently for physiotherapy to mobilise my leg again, following an accident a couple of months ago.
Lo primero que tu pierna esté muy bien en muy poco tiempo. Poder caminar para poder seguir disfrutando de la fotografía, si :)
ReplyDeleteVeo tu gusto por enseñas, así las llamo yo, te lleva a encontrarlas por doquier. Si, cuando uno tiene verdadero interés por algo se le presenta.
Buena luz y contraste en la imagen.
Un cordial saludo
I love the way fonts are used in an urban landscape. Fonts and logos. Great fun to see how they vary through the decades.
ReplyDeleteThanks, haideé. My leg is much better now and I'll soon be walking again without my crutches. :)
ReplyDeleteJulie, it certainly is interesting how styles of fonts and logos change through the time.
Awesome find. It's hard to find a logo with the name of the hospital like this one. Hope you are doing okay now. ^_^

In this case the retro look works for me. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Jim. Glad that you are well on the road to recovery. It is fitting that you give us a shot of where you have been spending time to recover.
ReplyDeletetake care. hope you get back on your two feet sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteHope you are back to your old self soon!
ReplyDeleteI like how the letters cast shadows on the brick and how you caught the flag mid-wave!
I like the 3D effect of the raised lettering. Beautiful shot with the flag against that clear blue sky!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are on the mend :-)

Your glad is so beautiful flying there in the breeze. And I adore the street light. It is precious. Hope your PT is helping your leg. I go to PT a lot for my back. Do not know what I would do without my adorable therapist. genie
ReplyDeleteI rather like the building. And fonts are something I'd never even know what they were, never mind have a discussion about them. It keeps me learning and makes life interesting.
ReplyDeleteI hope you continue to improve.
I love the shadows that raised letters create
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the flag. I had my appendix removed there back in the 50's when it was the closest hospital to Loftus.
ReplyDeletediane b, even now, Loftus is certainly quite a trip from Kogarah.
ReplyDeleteI like the 3D effect of the letters and shadows - it almost looks like the letters themselves may be tilted down to be more easily read from the street?
ReplyDeleteNice shot! Your posts are alwaysinteresting!
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful blue skies! Terrific capture/composition as always, Jim! Beautiful flag! So glad to hear that your leg is better and that you'll be able to walk soon without the crutches! Enjoy your weekend!

I, too love the art deco like font on the name
ReplyDelete(and for a brief moment, I was worried when you said you were spending time there when I noticed the 'cancer care')
Lesley, St George is a district hospital with a wide range of health services and there are actually a few more directional signs below that one. I suffered a fractured leg and arm after an accident but things are slowly getting back on track now. :)
ReplyDeleteYour website is very beautiful or Articles. I love it thank you for sharing for everyone. Psychotherapist Kogarah
