Sydney Shapes (or - what on EARTH have I been doing with my time, hmm?)
There have, as some of you have pointed out to me, been many days since my last post.

So what have I been up to, one wonders?

Well, as mothers of small children everywhere do, I have been looking at shapes.

And since pictures say - well - more than a lot of words, here are some of the shapes I looked at on a day recently in one of Sydney's oldest bits, lovingly known by us lucky Sydneysiders as "The Rocks". I've been thinking about these shapes ever since.


Spiral


Globe


Curl


Column


Floret


Triangles


Circles and arcs


Rectangles (and old seaman, don't you love that people used to care?)


Criss-cross, or is it zig-zag?


Fan


Arches


Hard to say: Jorn Utzon thought they were orange segments


Ripples and grids


Plinth; or, possibly, Profile


Cylinders


Squares (left corner, building)


More words next time, perhaps.
