My city, Sydney, in which I had lived for most of my life until moving away to the south coast twelve years ago. When I was young the buildings were all gracious old ones, built of brick and stone, but in my teenage years the first tall glass and steel buildings appeared. Later still the tall towers and fluid shapes of current buildings … the skyline always changing. Looking up in Pitt Street you can’t miss the contrast between old and new!

Yes, this is a dynamic observed in every large city in Australia and the western world now. While we admire the engineering design and efficiency of most modern building (not the egocenticity of them), we still pine for edifices of old craftsmen now considered primitive.
Awesome! I love old buildings.
What a contrast in styles!
Oh, this is great! Fantastic picture!
The shiny glass buildings do contrast with the old one.
