| The Reflecting Pool, State Parliament House, Macquarie Street |
There is not much reflecting occurring in this Parliament House at the moment. Within 24 hours of my tour, they had tossed out the State Premier and installed another. Thank God there is only 15 months until another election. Although the leader of the other party in contention comes across as a whinger and naesayer, I did meet the Shadow Minister for Transport who was quite impressive - and will need to be.

Wow, that is a beautiful photo. That reflection is magnific
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably spectacular. Striking in every way!

O how stunning! Good to see a little magic round government buildings!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot - reflections and water, two of my favorite subjects. Quite fitting actually for a political seat - mirrors and shadows without a lot of actual substance.
ReplyDeleteWhat is up and what is down? Elegant!
ReplyDeletePS Thank you for the comment!
Julie, this is a truly beautiful photograph. I do wish Kristina well in her new and difficult role ... who would have thought when we were chatting on Monday how much the political landscape would have changed by Friday!
ReplyDeleteFabulous shot Julie! This is just stunning.
ReplyDeleteYou found a great way to express yourself! lol
ReplyDeleteNot very good for Copenhagen!
Neat shot of an interesting pool. I like your other reflections on the lack of reflections inside the halls of government.
ReplyDeletegreat photo
ReplyDeletegood w end ;O)
Wow, that is beautiful!
ReplyDeletefabulous photos
ReplyDeleteSuperb! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what an awesome catch! Does this light up at night? I'd love to see that, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely brilliant and the perfect reflection!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your very kind birthday wish. I wish you too a very happy weekend!
Holy Cow! What an interesting reflection. Great eye you have.
ReplyDeleteJust an exquisite shot you've got there! Lovely reflections!
ReplyDeleteThis very striking but I am not quite sure what I am looking at. Is this a sculpture of thin metal rods hanging over the water with some water dribbling down from them? I can't tell if this is a sculpture or a fountain or both.
ReplyDeleteBill: it is all those things you surmise. It is quite striking and I took photos from every-which angle, chosing the one with the least intrusive background. It is a fountain with sculpted hollow rods of varying lengths dribbling back into the pool. The lights reflect back into the mass of rods and hence back down again into the water. I will try to go in again at night.
ReplyDeleteLook at the reflection, beautiful isn't it !!.
ReplyDeleteYou captured it wonderfully.Anyway Thanks for viewing my blog & will keep in touch.
What a lovely fountain and a marvelous reflection you've captured and shared!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Beautiful and fascinating. It looks like the sculpture is inverted in the water, even though it's a reflection. I love it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Reflection
ReplyDeleteAn interesting sculpture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me that the politicians in my county and city aren't the only ones that are despicable! I guess it's the same wherever we're from.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous water shot.

A very intriguing sculpture, I love the reflection. Great capture, it would be interesting to see it at night.
ReplyDeleteAwesome find & great photo!
ReplyDeleteExcellence!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites today. :)
It's lovely to be here for the start of your new career. Beautiful photography, lovely.
ReplyDeleteIs it a fountain or sculpture or both? Lovely shot. So you have 2 women running the state now. I wonder if they can do better!
ReplyDeleteNot just two women, meaning the Premier and the Deputy Premier, but also the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore and the Governor of NSW, Marie Bashir.
ReplyDeleteWill they do better? Nope, because the blokes have just gone underground and continue to pull the strings. It is a mess. It is a bloody awful mess. They are not in it for the power and the glory but for the power and the money.
Am I annoyed? You betcha. And guess what? I vote.
It's all beautiful pictures in your blog. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteStunning shots! Really marvelous picture . Have a great weekend dear friend!!!
ReplyDeleteoh Julie, you are an artist!This picture is fabulous and I feel the water could be dancing there!
ReplyDeleteI loved it!
Happy weekend reflections
purrs and love
your friend

Reflections...a perfect image for those parliamentarians. Have a wonderful weekend, xv.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Your photo is stunning!
ReplyDeleteOh, Julie, what a lovely sight and perfect capture!
ReplyDeleteI even love the warm glow of the sun coming through!
Your photo is awesome, even if the government leaves much to be desired. Don't stop voting, though—if you don't vote, you forfeit right to complain about the outcome!
ReplyDeleteSplendid reflection!
ReplyDeleteAn excellent reflection, so much different from the quoted political situation...
ReplyDeleteExcellent photo, beautiful subject (the fountain, NOT politicians) Smoke and mirrors indeed. Kathy
