Chifley Square

[Delta]

Historical yet modern, Chifley Square is an entity unto its own. It plays host to a variety of manufactured glossy egos.

...with the crystal blue skies of Winter....

Putting it into perspective, with Renzo Piano's Aurora Place Tower to the left:

In the canyons, work is well underway for one of the 3 Norman Foster Towers that Sydney is currently constructing (the other 2 a seperate project):

The 242m BT Tower on Chifley Square:

That is a really dense area around the square with huge skyscrapers. What is that parcel of land outside of the skyscrapers?

What do you mean by "What is that parcel of land outside of the skysrapers?"....Whereabouts do you mean wolfdawg54?

Looking forward to your reply

It is in the second to last picture withe areial view. What is all of the green space that is there. Is that a park by the lake or unused land?

[Delta]

The green area is The Botanical Gardens and it's not a lake, it's Sydney Harbour....which is about the 4th or 5th busiest harbour in the world ATM.

Thanks very much and I should have known that it was Sydney Harbour.

BTW Here's a pic taken last year from Sydney Tower toward the Chifley Sq area:

Oh, I see now. The park is where the Sydney POpera house is located. Thanks!

The shot looking from the park towards downtown really puts things into perspective for me. I can see where Chiefly Square is in relation to the rest of downtown. Thanks!

Great Pics Delta! Sydney has many Skyscrapers.

However, I like the pic that you took a picture from

the Sydney Tower.
