Concrete tree?

Over the next few days I will post photographs from Vivid Sydney – a festival of light, music and ideas.

This is the Mushroom (MLC Centre), Martin Place, designed by Australian architect Harry Siedler. Built in 1977, it houses the CTA (Commercial Traveller’s Association) Club.

Park life

The sunshine was so bright yesterday that I couldn’t see if I’d managed to capture this little critter. His shell was about the size of my smallest finger nail; impressive camouflage against the bark of the gum tree!

Daisy, daisy

Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do.
I’m half crazy all for the love of you.
It won’t be a stylish marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage.
But you’ll look sweet,
Upon the seat,
Of a bicycle made for two.

Michael, Micheal, here is your answer true.
I’m not crazy all for the love of you.
There won’t be any marriage,
If you can’t afford a carriage.
‘Cause I’ll be switched,
If I get hitched,
On a bicycle built for two!”

“Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)” is a popular song, written in 1892 by Harry Dacre.
