The Observatory

The Sydney Observatory.

Built in 1857.

 

Photographed at sunset from the rotunda in Observatory Hill Park.

 

In the distance are the towers of Barangaroo. In the far distance you can see Pyrmont and the ANZAC bridge.

 

To the right is the Port Jackson Fig Tree that was made famous by legendary Sydney photographer, Max Dupain, who photographed this tree - looking north to the harbour bridge - in 1938:
