As you observe the greening of the city is a nice thing, though once I owned an apartment in Crows Nest where I could sit at my desk and see the airport in the distance. By the time we sold some 10 years later the view was gone due to a street tree. Down at the street level I always preferred the trees.<br /><br />It was a 1930s apartment. The world outside and inside buildings is always changing even though the structures remain the same.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-7202518450863705502010-05-09T19:35:26.982+10:002010-05-09T19:35:26.982+10:00I like these street pictures Julie.

Whereas the R and R1 class trams were more like a bus with a front door and a middle door. Somewhere I have photos of the turn of the century O Class trams, too, at the corner of Crown & Cleveland in Redfern.

Interesting that while Sydney's tram system had almost closed down by 1960, this very old tram was still running when there were plenty of the much more modern R and R1 class trams available. I can only think that was still operating because this class with its many access openings was very good at moving large numbers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-41544328883573084122010-05-09T08:06:36.373+10:002010-05-09T08:06:36.373+10:00It's a bit like B&W tv and colour TV, isn&...It's a bit like B&W tv and colour TV, isn't it.<br /><br />Yes, I saw the answer to the orange trumpet flower (and its botanic name).Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-45556156543421317662010-05-09T08:04:05.399+10:002010-05-09T08:04:05.399+10:00I love these 'now and then' shots.
