One of the entrances to the Sydney Opera House is underneath the well-known sails. It is a large cave with concrete “ribs” that are part in sunlight and part in shadow.

Autumn Leaves
A little while ago now (I heard today is the last day of winter on the radio, this morning) I saw such a beautiful red tree on my morning walk.
SAHMRI Building
I was really struck by the interior of the SAHMRI building in Adelaide. It was great to see that so much effort had been put into making what needs to be a highly functional research building an interesting place to work.
UTS Building 8: Dr Chau Chak Wing Building
Seen while walking the Goods Line in Sydney, a re-greened rail corridor in the style of New York’s Manhattan Sky Line.
Inspired by the idea of a treehouse, the building was designed by architect Frank Gehry as “a growing learning organism with many branches of thought, some robust and some ephemeral and delicate”.
Vivid Sydney at Taronga Zoo
My son’s birthday coincides nicely with the Sydney Vivid festival, where “art, technology and commerce intersect” – three weeks of light shows and sculpture that brighten up the city during the cold (and sometimes wet) winter here.
Taronga Zoo has put on an event for the last few years, with wonderful light sculptures that look like giant stained-glass animals. Needless to say, an afternoon at the zoo, followed by a trip through this surreal landscape after dark has become a favourite.

Spotted while walking around my village. Looks like the junk mailer got here before me.
Shining Pools
Walking to a meeting in Sydney, the sun was shining onto the glass facade of an anonymous office building. The light reflected in shimmering pools on the side of a sandstone building, making the uniform shapes seem quite organic.
