Pottinger Park, affectionately known as 'The Paddock', is located along Pottinger Street, in the inner city suburb of Millers Point. This small laneway leads up to Downshire Street and Windmill Street. This was originally a foreshore reserve, since the Walsh Bay wharves and Hickson Road, below Pottonger Street were built on reclaimed land.
This is a fine look at the past, where stone lined the streets instead of asphalt - very nice...although my wheelchair might disagree with the fancy stonework :)
ReplyDeleteNicely done here- makes me want to stroll down this walkway! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue, blue skies, a great walkway and sharp, crisp shadow shot for the day! Perfect, as always, Jim!
ReplyDeleteVery inviting. Makes me want to explore.
ReplyDeletelove all the different stone and textures...great shadow shot Jim. Happy Weekend!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful mix of stone and surface levels. Unusual laneway design.
ReplyDeleteThe flagstones on the lane look something you would find in the UK
ReplyDeleteLike a sundial, isn't it? Only, a rather BIG one!
ReplyDeleteI love your site! You will be in our prayers and thoughts! Nice and informative post on this topic thanks for sharing with us. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot, Jim. And doesn’t it make today’s McMansion-based living environments look tragic?
ReplyDeleteA massive difference indeed.
DeleteStreet lamp casts a lovely shadow...somehow reminds me of a sundial.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who has walked across those stones? The shadow falls across them without concern. Today is today. Great image to ponder over.
ReplyDeletenice shot! love Sydney!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I love the texture of the rustic bricks and stones, and the sky is so blue!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shot. Love the long tall shadow. We have two brick roads left in Stanwood. From a time gone by. MB
ReplyDeleteThat is one lovely lamp shadow!
