The Sydney Tropical Centre in the Royal Botanic Gardens houses displays of tropical plants. The Pyramid Glasshouse opened in 1972 and is linked by an underground foyer to the Arc Glasshouse which opened in 1990. The glasshouses were closed to the public early last year for redevelopment but the work has not begun yet.
Hope they get on to it soon Jim it's a really unusual feature and would surely add to the botanical garden experience.
ReplyDeleteYou missed a bit!
ReplyDeleteStefan, I couldn't quite fit in the whole pyramid at this angle but if you click on the link you can see another photo of it front-on.
DeleteLooks like a nice place to visit, hopefully they will complete the work. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I would never have thought this picture to be taken in Australia. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This glass triangle reminds me of the one in front of the Louvre in Paris.
ReplyDeleteCheating. This is Egypt! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome place and great shot ~ for OWT ^_^
ReplyDeleteI assumed a pyramid would play into this theme somewhere along the line, but I wasn't expecting Australia! Nice one.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though something is growing right through the glass on the top left side.
ReplyDeleteThere are openings up there for the plants to venture outdoors.
Deleteoh my, I thought I'd been transported back to Paris with the pyramid!!! Great shot and choice for our theme.

Wonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteHi Jim. When I read that this months theme was triangles and I immediately thought of a pyramid. Sadly not time to find a pyramid in Melbourne. So glad you posted this beauty from Sydney. Cheers J.
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteThe ultimate Sydney Triangle. well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Wonderful architecture!
ReplyDeleteExcellent theme day shot - of slow moving bureaucracy?
ReplyDeleteSure seems that way.
DeleteI too expect Paris for manmade glass triangles, not Australia. Nice surprise and unusual work of art.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Mr O'Farrell has in store here, Jim. Reins on purse strings, me thinks. Tight reins.
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be the trend but I just hope they don't get rid of the pyramid though.
DeleteIt's a great feature in the gardens, hope it gets to be refurbished quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe contrast with the blue sky is terrific
ReplyDeleteWhat better of this for a triangles theme day?
ReplyDeleteTHAT is a big triangle. And nicely composed with the trees.
ReplyDeletesuper shot .. great interpretation of this month's theme!
ReplyDeletePerfect for them day!
ReplyDeleteOh, a beautiful "triangle"!!
ReplyDeleteGood shot! That's a great triangle! And the palm trees make me think of the Egyptian desert...I suppose that's the intention?
ReplyDeletePerhaps but they definitely fit the tropical theme.
DeleteJim, half-way around the world there is another glass pyramid - beautiful! Great minds think alike, n'est-ce pas?
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
Oui, it would seem so. :)
DeleteA glass pyramid from triangles for the theme day? You can't get much better than that.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fascinating place to visit. Perfect for theme day.
ReplyDeleteGreat structure for a greenhouse. I guess Paris was envious ;-). Thanks for stopping by at Polonica: Home Again.
ReplyDeleteI love it and hope it will reopen.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful triangle!
