Towers, Aspect and Glass - Sydney

Morning has awakened, with glistening surfaces where man-made structures try to meet the sky, but where shadows also loom in the gaps and hidden valleys.

Old and new on a quiet Sunday morning along George Street, where a spunky Darell Lea store provides a much needed contrast to its younger neighbours.

Not all is tall and monotony - there is pattern and style - spot the trees, gabled roofs and art deco as well.

A typical high rise that emulates the brick of suburbia and accentuates the fact that one can create something out in the air - and make money too.

                                   
The variety of Sydney city facades captured in one massive glass reflection - with the famous Australian blue sky.

The blue and white of the panoramic buildings that surround and grace one side of Darling Harbour, a significant illustration of urban renewal that still draws the crowds since the Australian Bicentenary of 1988.

A touch of the old world, matured by the smog of the Big Smoke and yet solid as a rock, along the midsection of Sydney's George Street.

Glass, columns and brick - the view from Pitt Street Mall.  Look up beyond the shopping bags, shoes and buskers.
