I might have shown this view before but each time I find myself here, as I did last week, it is irresistibly impossible not to take another shot. Standing at the top of St Georges Terrace looking down into the city through the Barracks Arch, all that is left of the Pensioner's Barracks (scroll down to see original barracks) is one of my favourite views. In the same spot in the opposite direction across the freeway is Parliament House. I don't think the view here, constructed 1958/64 is it's best side, the Harvest Terrace side, built in 1902 is lovely, will get over there and take some pics soon. Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
That arch would be irresistible to the photographer!
ReplyDeleteI love the arch!
ReplyDeleteI would not be able to resist that arch!
ReplyDelete...the cars are going the wrong way!
ReplyDeleteSatisfying arch shot, G!
ReplyDeleteNone of us can resist such a great arch, Grace! What a difference in views!
ReplyDeleteSome pretty fancy brickwork on that arch - nobody bothers with details like that today.
ReplyDeleteThat arch is stunning. Keep well Diane
ReplyDeleteWhile I like black and white photos often enough, only a colour photo does justice to colours of the brickwork in the arch.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the entire building was not preserved. At least the stately tower was saved.
ReplyDeleteIs this similar to Noah's arch? No, it's much more beautiful! Love the brick. And love that view across the freeway. It doesn't seem that traffic is very bad, though. Our major roads are always jammed. Mostly wall-to-wall. And finally, as Tom said, the cars are going the wrong way. 👀👣😳
ReplyDeleteNice shot of the arch!
ReplyDeleteI can see why that would be a favorite view. The brickwork alone is stunning and you can't beat an arched opening for framing a view.
ReplyDeleteArches are in Grace and that's a nice view through the arch. I love arches, they are irresistible to photograph.
ReplyDeleteThe brick work on that arch is pretty special. And, it is as if the designer knew that photographers would love the framing of the view that it provides.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about the views.
ReplyDeleteLovely framing in that first shot.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics
ReplyDeleteBeautiful indeed, Grace! I think that´s where the Unknown Photographer is nearby, right.
ReplyDeleteExcellent showing why it is so much nicer to look through a smaller frame then in the open. By moving in you discover new views while in the open it keeps the same. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI like those looking through shots very much!
ReplyDeleteA primeira fotografia está com um enquadramento espectacular, gostei.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

I also enjoy the views from the Arch to St George's Tce.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Some places just NEED to be photographed often!
ReplyDeleteJust love that arch, the bricks are a wonderful colour.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Wow, this side and that is just beautiful. You live in quite the lovely city.
ReplyDeleteBuilt by a craftsman Grace. I fear today they use labourers.
