A morning stroll through the gardens

Fabian · July 8th, 2005, 02:03 PM

Went for an early morning stroll in the Royal Botannic Gardens.

I took some panos of the City & Harbour which I'll post before I get onto the photos. They were taken at Mrs Macquaries Point.

& here are the other shots

An excited angel (so excited he forgot to put on his gown

) checks out the latest tower to rise over the gardens

Check out the spire they added to the Tropical Gardens complex

I was being sarcastic. It's really the spire of 126 Phillip St

The skyline's newest addition - 126 Phillip St. Looks stunning from out there!!!

The Harbour Bridge & Opera House from Mrs Macquaries Point

Cool shots, Fabian!!!!!

I didn't even know there was a pyramidical garden for tropical stuff in Sydney!

EDIT: a mistake on my part.

Fabulous angles Fabian. !!!!!. The Botanic Gardens were once known as 'the farm that failed'. And so, from the convict dumping ground grew the most beautiful city on the planet!

Beautiful pictures. How cool to have a Botanic Gardens right in the middle of the city, on prime real estate. I love the 126 Phillip tower, looks way better than it did in the renderings I saw. I want one for my city!

I've never been to Canada. I hope to go there someday. I think you mistook me for another person.

@Fabian - Oops. My bad. Yes, I did mistake you for someone else.
