Adelaide by Night

Cafe Area of Rundel Street Northern side of Rundle Street is paved with coins

Whilst the city is not actually paved with gold, the colours of the illuminated buildings can assume that golden glow at night. Actually the northern side of Rundle street is paved with coins. These where all taken with night mode and since I didn't have my tripod with me I just used suitable nearby posts, bins and veranda poles for support.

The leaning trees of inner Adelaide

Botanic Garden: Leaning East & South Rundel road: hanging to the West Hindmarsh square : tilting to the east Botanic Garden : leaning to North

I have noticed something strange in the older and taller trees of central Adelaide, they all lean. I can not see a simple explanation, like prevailing winds or swelling soils. They all just appear to have their own personal leans and twists, whilst retaining a calm balance as they ignore the bustling world go by below.

A charming Victorian Glasshouse

Palm Court - Adelaide Botanical Gardens

The palm court in the Adelaide botanical gardens, dates back to the Victorian era and whilst such a glass house is very suitable for the kew gardens in the UK, It may just get a fraction hot in Adelaide, so no wonder the place is now specializes for the dry vegetation of Madagascar, and just one palm.

The glasshouse was imported from Bremen In Germany in 1875, and is thought to be the only one of its kind.
