Beautiful work. A very hard building to capture, but well worth it.
ReplyDeleteI just went past this a day ago and they have chopped down the big tree, you can get a much better view of it though the yard looks a little sparse now. I am hoping they might re-paint it soon, it is a wonderful block of flats, especilly the tower.
ReplyDeleteDorijo IS lovely, David. I think it is more attractive than Lonsdale House, even though it is difficult to compare residential with commercial buildings.
ReplyDeleteI go down Victoria Parade often. I must get out of the car and have a proper look.
Happy new year to you and yours :)
Thanks for visiting Sean, Katya & Helen and especially to Katya for letting me know about the tree, I'll have to go and have a look.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a prosperous 2010.
Thanks for posting this, what a stunning building and I can really see I.G Anderson style here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas. I thought it was a lovely Australian building to finish the year on.
