Centrepoint sunset

  

Sydney Tower, aka Centrepoint, shimmers gold as the rising sun illuminates the city. As the Autumn sun sets the Tower appears to be etched into the sky. Taken from Catalina Restaurant, Rose Bay, Sydney, Australia. 

Why grey?



For a number of years it has been popular to paint your house grey. I wonder if this pair of houses would look different if the mouldings on the house on the right were picked out in a contrasting colour or shade. I personally prefer the colour palette used on the left, what do you think?

Rainbow hope

This is the first time in its 64 year history as a university that my place of work has raised the rainbow flag in honour of LGBTIQ Pride and the 2015 Mardi Gras. I don’t believe it’s coincidental that our new President and Vice Chancellor, Professor Ian Jacobs arrived in February; a new broom sweeps clean. 

Thank you to Ally and the Kirby Institute, Sydney, Australia, for arranging this auspicious occasion.

Aperol Spritz anyone?

I agree that in the main, less is more; I have cropped this image a little. I didn’t want to lose: the sources of coloured light; the mixing of the colours; the effect of light on the pressed metal ceiling, the person providing scale; and the red chair at the top of the stairs.
