Macquarie Street, Monday 25th June 2007.
The British Medical Association Building is one of Sydney's great Art Deco treasures. Built in 1930 it was one of the tallest of the new skyscrapers (13 stories) in Sydney at the time, but what set it apart was the extraordinary decorations. The facade of the building is festooned with gargoyles and beautiful handmade tiles in rich designs that express Australian flora, fauna and medical symbols. It retains its original usage as medical consulting rooms.

Australia Square, George Street, Thursday 21st June 2007.
It's the Winter Solstice today. (Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere) From here on the days begin to get longer. I can almost see these skyscrapers as some great place of worship not unlike the stone circles of Neolithic times where one might celebrate this day in ancient rituals.
