NORTH ADELAIDE











North Adelaide is a great place for coffee shops, restaurants, decor....

CITY LIFE IN ADELAIDE

In the past few days, I have been shooting street scenes in the CBD of my hometown, Adelaide. One of the things I have realized by doing this, is it's real cosmopolitan flavour. Where have the REAL AUSSIES, gone!! It is a University city, and with it's temperate climate and easy going lifestyle, it draws students from around the globe, mostly Asia. Not exactly a throbbing Metropolis, but busy enough for me!













I will be posting a few scenes each day, hope you enjoy my little insight into Life in Adelaide...

ANGELS AND CROSSES.






Been out night shooting, tonight.

I love all the various colours of the lights, and how different everything looks.

Walking along North Terrace, I was struck by the gigantic size the angel at the War Memorial, and how incongruous it is to it's surrounds. It almost commands to be worshipped, as one of the figures below, seems to be doing. I am also struck by the red post box in the foreground of the one photograph, it reminds me of the blood of Jesus spilt on the cross at Calvary. The danger sign on the left makes me think of how precarious our lives are, on planet Earth.

I enjoyed playing around with the crosses, and the colours projected by the various lights, I think they leave me with an eerie feeling...

Annette was'nt too pleased with me when I returned to the car, I had been away for almost an hour!! Sorry, darlingxx
