Wynyard Station - Escalators at Concourse level, York Street entrance. Sydney, NSW

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

  These escalators are being replaced in January 2017 during a Wynyard railway station makeover.

  Something odd to the top right of the photo? Can you explain - cheers - Paul

• Joseph Kelly said:

  Odd is an understatement! The figure is very static (see left hand) but very translucent, standing between steps, and entirely at the wrong angle (ie, leaning backwards about 30 degrees.) If this were a 'genuine' person moving about in the image they would be blurred, but translucence without movement is impossible and thie effect shown can only be achieved by a double exposure. (I'm a press photographer of 40 years experience).

• Joseph Kelly said:

  I've just downloaded this image and magnified it, and things get even stranger. Above the person's head tucked to the right of the escalator is an fuzzy 'phallic' object that doesn't have the same focus qualities of its surrounding objects, so doesn't belong in this image either. A private joke of some sort?

Forth Banks

• David Madden said:

  Our company (Demex) were the subcontractors responsible for the haulage and disposal of the spoil generated by the tunnel excavations. We were also the demolition contractors for the old Post Office workshops which stood on the exact spot of the tunnel pictured above. You can just see part of the demolition work about halfway up the right-hand side of the photo
