Walking along the Cahill Expressway, I encountered fascinating shapes and reflections. By taking steps to the side, I could bring the geometry of the buildings closer together than they may have appeared to be from another angle. By removing the colour in my image, I could concentrate on the shapes and the lines. Rather than being confounded by difference, I was entranced by similarity.

I've tried a few different angles from there too. :) Taken from the same spot as mine today but in a different direction. Cool coincidence.
Great effect. I saw your comment on JBar's site, otherwise I would not have recognized this for the Circular Quay area. Julie and I will be staying in the Marriott near Circular Quay for a couple of days in about a year. Although your photo is creative, I hope we have a view of the bay rather than a view in the direction of your photo.
Looks very good both in color and black and white.
Excellent reflection Julie, my eyes are having problems figuring it out, wonderful melee of lines, shapes and angles!
I prefer the B&W shot. I have always had an intense dislike for that blue reflective building at the quay.
Interesting response, Mark. It is indeed, both offputting and disturbing to the field of vision.
I want to check out Jim's shot ... so different.
When I stop for a shot in the country that has taken my eye I always look in the opposite direction too, it's surprising how often the other unplanned shot gets used.
I like the comparison of the colour and B&W shots here. The colour is less jarring than I expected.
Looks like a blue sky in the colour shot, otherwise both look intriguing.
Yes, it was a blue sky. Very early last Sunday ...
And yes, Joan, the colour is pleasing to the eye too. I agree about the opposite shot. I often catch myself coming and going ...
Fabulous photo(s?), Julie. Entrancing. Mesmerizing, almost. Hmm, that could be scary.

I prefer the B&W for this one, Julie. Great effect with the reflection!
Modern skyscrapers may seem like cold living lifestyles, but their facades do offer creative, geometric perspectives! I especially love the monochrnme version with the focus on lines and patterns!
what are those patterns? At first, i thought they were reflectionsof cars.
Ann: I think they are reflections of the windows on this other building. However, the glass in the 'reflector' is not plain window glass. This is just me thinking though ...
yes, the b&w invites a more in-depth study.
Fabulous shots julie. Move between them in terms of which I prefer although the colours in the second shot are unusual and I like this interesting dimension.
Love the texture in the reflections!!!
Yes, this 'texture' has been captured by nearly every Sydney blogger. I am not sure how the glass in the building has been 'cut' but figure it to be deliberate.
