great

It's truly interesting that the most forward, modern design of the 1930s is really close to what they're designing today in the highest fashion places. However, they're not using 100% marble, quartz or alabaster (which ever it is) The clean lines and minimalist approach is all the rage today and has been for many years. In fact, some give credit to the 1960s for this design, this is where they fail. The minimalist design was first seen in France during the early 1920s. The 1960s gleaned those early French designers of the 20s for their most modern 60s design. Just goes to show, there really are no new ideas, just new adaptations of old designs.

I grew up in Turramurra, and know the railway station well! I expect the map location is some where else like near Trentino Rd. or Eastern Road...

Amazing shot , how these guys could do that is totally beyond me ! ,they can have it !

I don't think I will be rushing to volunteer to do that either but a terrific shot!

An amazing shot of a Full riding dogman and two(?) adventurous photographers. It makes me wonder where the photographer photographing the pictured photographer was standing. The whole scene looks absolutely precarious for today's standards; The wooden ladder, the photographer in a suit with a cumbersome camera standing on narrow scaffolding, the scaffolding itself (OMG!) as well as the full riding dogman without safety harness, riding in the bathtub. As far as I remember, full riding dogmen still existed in the early seventies, much to the surprise of this new migrant to Australia. OH&S did not exist yet in those days to the standard they do now. Though, inspecting the shot a bit closer, it makes me wonder whether the shot may have been manipulated, i.e. how did the photographer step off the wooden ladder and his shadow not casting on the wall and on the scaffolding boards (shoes). Be it as it may, the shot shows the dangerous job of the now extinct full riding dogman and construction standards in those days.
