View from the 45th floor, 11:50am today


A visit today to the Italian Consulate in downtown Sydney. This is the view from the waiting room (and after receiving our number, we had an hour to contemplate the view...)
The round building is Australia Square Tower, which I've shown before from ground level (click here). The "Eiffel Tower" in the middle distance has also been featured before (click here). Beyond that is the main, sandstone building of Sydney University (click here).

  1. Interesting, seeing all the different shapes & sizes of buildings from a birds eye view. Lucky too, to be able to go up in a tower block.

  5. A very nice city landscape, Sally. The points of interest are also noted in your comment. I like the photograph and find the scene impressive.

    If you visited my blog yesterday and left a comment about our 52nd wedding anniversary, I wanted to say, "Thanks."

  8. Difficult for current Sydneysiders to realise the tower [which was never compared with the Eiffel Tower at the time] was once the highest structure in Sydney, being visible from far afield.
