While I was visiting an office overlooking Barrangaroo I was able to take a few quick snaps, as you can see the weather is bleak. The building with the horizontal red bars is the Westpac barometer, the bars rise and fall according to the barometric pressure, it took me a while to work out what it was doing.
The building rises and falls, eh? Now THAT would make for interesting working conditions!@
ReplyDeleteI think it's getting quite cluttered down that end of town. It will be good when the development of the big patch of bitumen happens.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that's what it was for. Intersting building that one, went inside last Sydney Open, they have lots of open "green room" space and proper cafes throughout the building. Also an open balcony overlooking Darling Harbour.
ReplyDeleteI like that electronic barometer. We just have the temperature displayed on a building up here.
ReplyDeleteI had read something in the newspaper about its use as a barometer a while ago and have been trying to find a way of photographing it. Your view from there was excellent.

That would confuse me too. But more important, I'm delighted by your word "Barangaroo"! :) I might have to walk around saying that for awhile, although I'm sure I won't be saying it correctly at all!
ReplyDeleteCool !!!
ReplyDeleteJoan - agree it needs developing - not sure about the new plan.
ReplyDeleteAnn, will have to visit the base, sounds good.
Bill, I bet your thermometer doesn't read below 20!
Thanks Jim, great view, photo could have been better.
T, agree cool name, it was the name of Bennelong's wife, a famous Aboriginal who helped the First Fleet (besides the spearing incident). His name was given to the land on which the Opera House stands - Bennelong Point.
The y need to give instructions on how to read it.
