On closer inspection I saw what the fasination was...a very cute and friendly possum. The hand you see is that of a French tourist who could not believe how tame this little man (woman?) was. I have seen possums in the park before but not at 6pm.</span> </td></tr>

Walked through Hyde Park a couple of times and could not take a photo. This is a hard task that I have set myself. But thanks to a concerned friend I am inspired. I think my big learning this week has been that I need a theme each day or week. So it is not just about what is happening in the park...it is about finding something that is say red or sad or old. This week when I walked through Hyde Park I was just overwhelmed with the variety of things to photograph...Amway tourist, the festival garden, bubble man, cyclist, homeless people...just so much...and nothing inspired me. But I am dusting myself of and getting back on the bike (so to speak). Look out for a stunning shot tomorrow. </span>365 Hyde Park - A year in the life.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03648864678166068822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239694338940692129.post-71125175246551636612011-01-15T07:44:00.002+11:002011-01-15T07:53:28.011+11:00...a quick visit<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">...I did not miss yesterday...took this shot but just could not post it until now. Friday was a busy day and as I stood in the park looking for an interesting subject I looked up and saw this beautiful tree. Hyde Park has some amazing trees...I think this is a paperbark but I will spend some time over the next couple of weeks researching the trees and trying to get some good shots...enjoy.</span></div><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wow...what a strange couple of days. Wednesday was moving day and the van arrived at 8am... so there was no time to get up to the park. However, when I drove past I could see that there was plenty going on with Sydney Festival First Night bump in. Trucks, containers, structures going up. It will be a great event on Saturday and I can't wait. </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last night I tried to blog but could not get onto blogspot. All other websites were accessible so the site must have been down. I was going to start the series 'Know Thy Neighbour'. This will be a series of blogs about the buildings that surround Hyde Park. Many of these building have a big impact on the mood of the park and I think it would be fun to find out more about their history. </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Archbishop Polding laid the foundation stone for the present cathedral in 1868. It was to be a huge and ambitious structure with a wide nave and aisle and three towers. Unfortunately, Polding did not live to see it in use as he died in 1877. Five years later, on 8 September 1882, his successor, </span><span style="color: black;">Archbishop Vaughan</span><span style="color: black;"> presided at the Dedication Mass. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">St Mary’s Cathedral is unusual among the world’s large cathedrals in that, because of its size, the plan of the city around it and the fall of the land, it is orientated in a North/South direction rather than the usual East/West. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">The plan of the cathedral is a conventional English cathedral plan, cruciform in shape, with a tower over the crossing of the nave and transepts, and twin towers at the West Front (in this case, the South.). There are three processional doors in the South with additional entrances conveniently placed in the transept facades so that they lead from </span><span style="color: black;">Hyde Park</span><span style="color: black;"> and from the Presbytery buildings and school adjacent the cathedral.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The architecture is typical of Gothic Revival of the 19th century, inspired by journals of the Cambridge Camden Society, the writings of John Ruskin and the architecture of Augustus Welby Pugin. At the time the foundation stone stone was laid, the architect Edmund Blacket had just completed Sydney's very much smaller Anglican Cathedral in the Perpendicular Gothic style and the Main Building of Sydney University.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Blacket was an architect whose competence and flair was extraordinary. It must have been inspiring to Polding to see what was possible, within the burgeoning Sydney Town. St Mary's, when William Wardell's plan was realised, was to be a much larger, more imposing and more sombre structure than the pretty little </span><span style="color: black;">St. Andrew's</span><span style="color: black;">, and because of its fortuitous siting, still dominates many views of the city, despite the high-rise buildings.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">The style of the cathedral is Geometric Decorated </span><span style="color: black;">Gothic</span><span style="color: black;">, the archaeological antecedent being the ecclesiastical architecture of late 13th century England. It is, in fact, based fairly closely on the style of </span><span style="color: black;">Lincoln Cathedral</span><span style="color: black;">, the tracery of the huge chancel window being almost a replica of that at Lincoln.</span></span><br />

Did not feel like venturing out but around 4pm there was a bit of a drop in temperature. You know how it gets in Sydney just before a southerly hits...windy...muggy...anticipation of a storm.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Grabbed my camera and hot footed it up to the park. It was nice under the trees and there were lots of people laying on the grass. Family groups mainly ... late Sunday afternoon picnics.

That is when I heard Paul. I love the sax and Paul looked the way a jazz muso should. Now I know nothing about music, but I think the heat might have got to Paul. He was not really playing a tune. Just making sounds. Almost like he was practising some notes. Didn't matter. He was a nice guy (with a great hair ). It was hard for him to talk with a sax in his mouth but he was happy for his photo to be taken. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

Set the alarm for 5am but slept through it - jumped out of bed around 7am. As I walked up past St Mary's Cathedral I realised how quite the streets were. Maybe there would be nothing to photograph. Maybe day one's pic would be just some blades of grass. But then I saw the sign below - big and bold - </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">there had to </span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">be a story here.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Feeding the hungry New Year's Eve revellers. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They worked right through the night... </span><br />

I am pretty happy with 365's look and have had some constructive feedback. I am glad I had a trial run because it was a bit trickier than I thought it would be. I am also a bit more aware of the discipline needed to do a 365 blog. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I thought it might be a good idea to get one more photo for 2010...maybe 'happy' people in funny Christmas hats...family groups enjoying Christmas Eve....the Christmas tree ....the lights. There is lots happening this afternoon in the park but I decided to leave the Christmas theme to next year. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Instead I have a pic of this couple...dead to the world...unaware of the celebrations going on around them...maybe one to many Christmas cheer drinks or maybe they have just arrived from overseas and have no where to stay. What I like most about this scene is the way the bags are just dumped. I wonder what their story is...and that is why I love Hyde Park...so many stories.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

They are two of the gardeners that keep Hyde Park looking so great. Leigh was keen for a chat and we discussed how hard is was, with all the rain, keeping the weeds under control. As you can see from the pictures below, they had a busy morning ahead of them. When you are next inthe park don't hesitate to stop and let the guys know how much you appreciate their work. </span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">You never know, you might walk away with a little plant, like I did!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Big section on blogging. Susan recommends research ...looking at other blogs...know your subject etc...so last night I decided to watch Julie & Julia (recommended by everyone when they hear about my blog!) ...probably not the type of research that Susan had in mind but helpful just the same. I have avoided this flick as I thought it was about cooking...not my thing...but it is also a great insight into blogging. Maybe I should have watched it before committing to this project!!</span></div>365 Hyde Park - A year in the life.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03648864678166068822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239694338940692129.post-40351257543403753832010-12-18T08:16:00.000+11:002010-12-18T10:04:49.704+11:00..some past shots <br />

As the underground tunnels for the railway were formed by extensive excavations from ground level, much of the vegetation is destroyed. According to the Sydney Morning Herald of 21 May 1929, the southern end of the park, where the ANZAC Memorial now stands was a mountain of excavated soil and the southwest corner had been a railway construction site for more than twelve years.</span></div><span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br />
