This green sculpture is located in the middle of a large roundabout at the intersection of Arncliffe Street and Brodie Sparks Drive, in the southern suburb of Wolli Creek. “Wolli Dancing” was created by Australian sculptor Blaze Krstanoski-Blazeski and unveiled in this newly redeveloped area in 2008. The plaque reads: Wolli Dancing relates to the Wolli tradition; a place that represents openness, which expresses joy, such as dancing. It captures the sensation and enthusiasm of the performers.
This row of heritage terrace houses in George Street at The Rocks was lit up for the Vivid Sydney festival. “The Georges” was a design by Gordon Watson, using waves of colour to highlight both the diversity of the residents who lived here over the years and the ever changing population as older residents move on and new dwellers arrive.
Beautiful autumn colour in Chalmers St, Redfern.
Most native to Sydney foliage is evergreen, but these street plantings of deciduous trees add lots of colour and enable winter sun through.
Purists mightn’t like them, but I love it!
Any opinions?
One of the fashion dictums my dear mother adhered to was “Blue and green should never be seen without a colour in-between”. Another was the view that black clothes were only worn by Mediterranean widows – “widows’ weeds”.
And mum was from Melbourne, a city where Henry Ford’s edict on cars “you can have any colour as long as it’s black” pevails with respect to satorial elegance.
These days Sydney also tends to think it’s Melbourne (or London), as a stint on the railway station this morning once more demonstrated.
Except for the rebel in the pink jacket and multi-coloured scarf who apparently refuses to read the memo!
