Going Up!


Reflections of the cranes beavering away around Elizabeth Quay in one of the glass facades along the Esplanade. The buildings are leaping skywards at a frightening pace, the shot directly below taken two and half months ago at the beginning of March, the last shot a few days ago.. will have to record this view each time I go into the city to see the progress.. will reserve judgement until it's fini :) How is a person supposed to get a new winter header shot when the sky looks like this 🌞 Hope you have a wonderful weekend, take care and stay safe..

  1. Time shall tell what becomes of it.

    You can always check your archives for a good shot for a seasonal header. I have to switch mine over for a summer header.

  3. Wow, Grace, can you send some of the workers over here?
    Germans are so darn slow, it´s a true pain!
    Bell Tower will be out of sight, soon, I guess...

  7. I think the Quay has become much loved by locals. I really hope it doesn't get broken by these buildings.

  12. I love your reflections shot. The skyline of Seattle looks similar to yours, filled with construction cranes. But you won't find any palm trees.

  14. The trouble with those buildings is that they block out the beautiful blue sky.

  15. great shots and I do love reflections.
    Going up made me laugh as it reminded me of the South African song of Jeremy Taylor "Lift Girls Lament". Look it up on the internet and listen to it and you will see what I mean LOL. Take care Diane

  19. This is an outstanding venue, with great and thoughtful staff, and a fantastic chef. The location of Chicago venues is well situated. We has been delighted to host our annual event at this location for the past few years, and the space has been perfect for our group of roughly 300.
