Athena - Goddess of Wisdom donated by the mayor of Athens during the Sydeny Olympics in 2000. This statue is in Barrack Street outside a classy Greek restaurant 'The Athenian' which is located in a beautiful old bank building, if you are ever in there take note of the old bank vault door on the way to the toilets.
I was in that little 'square' a couple of weeks back working on a story for Bruce Casperson. That bank building is just gorgeous I agree. The area is a bit of a shaded wind tunnel which is a shame. The views of the GPO are grand, too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't met this lady before. Nice composition and colour in this shot.
ReplyDeleteThat's a perfect location for that statue too. I've been to that restaurant a few times and agree those bank vaults are a great curiosity.
ReplyDeleteJulie, yes, a cold and windy lane.
ReplyDeleteThats beautiful. Bet its a nice place to eat as well.
