Edit September 2023: The textures of timber up in the sky, the sky, and the clouds.
"But what is it? What am I seeing?" I hear you cry. Well, actually I don't because for all I know you could be looking at this image from Greenland and I won't hear you. This assumes that anyone looks at it at all; I just skipped back to the Recently Updated set of galleries and saw this gallery along with several galleries of crochet-knit bikini clad young women with not a milligram of excess fat on them and flawless complexions. So, someone's going to be in here looking at a picture of wood flying through the air instead of checking out the bikini-chicks. Yeah, that'll happen. But I digress.
However on the remote chance that anyone IS interested, to the left we have some wooden sculptures on which there is very little information readily available. Apparently they were created by a landscape architect and artist named Anton James.
This area was once surrounded by working docks and wharves. The sculptures symbolise those wharves. They represent the kinds of buffers that you can still see at the end of some docks to act as a buffer between ships and the land beyond.
On the right, we see material that was being lifted by crane to the building site of a building which, at this time, had yet to be. That would become 48 Pirrama Road. I thought it had been there for the whole of my time in Pyrmont but I can see now that it wasn't. It would initially become the headquarters for the computing consultancy firm Accenture.
Accenture would stay there until about 2017, as best I can tell, after which they moved out and it became part of the Google Pyrmont campus. Google devoured a number of other buildings in the area over time as well, which I would suggest is a metaphor but it's more like just a depressing fact.
