Convention Centre in Darling Harbour Sydney for Treasure Tuesday

 






The Convention Centre commands a view across the harbour towards Barangaroo, once a busy container terminal and now transformed into a modern waterfront precinct. Regrettably, the nearby shopping centre and adjoining food court were obscured by substantial construction works, detracting somewhat from the immediate surrounds. Fortuitously, the Australian National Maritime Museum—home to the historic submarine HMAS Onslow—lies in close proximity. Commissioned in 1969 and serving with distinction during the Cold War era, Onslow now rests in dignified retirement as a museum vessel. I took the opportunity to capture several photographs in the vicinity of the submarine and its maritime environs before attending the conference.

  1. Bellas imágenes del centro de convenciones. Debe tener mucha vida económica. Y ese submarino tiene una forma curiosa que se sale de la normal imagen de un submarino.

  3. That submarine probably has more stories than an adventure novel! What a beautiful and history-filled place—I’d love to visit it someday.

  7. Fine cityscape photos. I especially liked your photo of the submarine Onslow. It does look like an old time sub. It is perfect for a maritime museum. Hope you are enjoying your week.

  15. Impressive buildings/structures but I think I'd feel rather intimidated by those surroundings... (I haven't visited any really big city in a very long time!!)

  16. Las fotos son preciosas pero esos bloque me dan sentimientos encontrados entre bellos y mastodónticos, las imágenes a ras de suelo son otra cosa.
    Me gustaría ver ese submarino por dentro.

    Saludos.

  21. The way you captured the lines in the wall and the lines in the submarine is wonderful, Roentare! What the heck is the circular spiral with the white ball in the center? Striking, but it can't be railroad tracks. Art with an industrial slant? Such intriguing photos!
