I like looking up Adelaide

March 30, 2012 by Jen

I travel into the city of Adelaide nearly every day for work so something within the city is bound to be my photo of the day some of the time. Because there have been a few lately I’m going to share them here.

The beauty of shooting a lot of photos with my phone is that it doesn’t look like a camera and I don’t look like a tourist. I never like looking like a tourist even when I am.

Rundle Mall, Adelaide. Day 24/366.

I don’t think Adelaide railway station is ever really busy, except when a crowd of 200 people pass through and stop for a photo shoot on the steps and freak security the heck out.

Adelaide railway station. Day 26/366.

The Ambassadors Hotel. Haven’t been there for years. I went there on a hen’s night too many years ago and we were going to throw confetti on our hen but weren’t allowed to. I still reckon we shouldn’t have asked and just done it. I would have helped sweep up.

Short between the tall. Day 33/366.

King William Street, Adelaide. Day 73/366.

You might detect a bit of a theme here. I like looking up. When you look up you get an idea of when a building was built and sometimes if the building is old enough, what business used to be there. This isn’t one of those examples because signage is now separate to the building so it can be replaced.

Flinders Street, Adelaide. Day 78/366.

I visited a friend in the Royal Adelaide Hospital recently and walked to it along North Terrace. It’s a really pleasant street to walk along between King William Street and Pulteney Street and I only wish I’d had more time to enjoy it.

Along North Terrace, Adelaide. Day 80/366.

A slightly different view of a food court. I’m not into food courts as a rule because they’re loud and crowded but I do like Bing Boy at the moment, especially the smoking salmon and the prawn ones.

Looking at the ceiling. Day 85/366.

    These are all such great photos Jen….everyone of them. That one looking up at the tall building is amazing. I’m surprised to see how clear and beautiful they all are from your phone. I’ve seen pics taken by phones that are no where near this good. I guess technology has really come a long way. ~Joy

      Thanks Joy. I think my phone/camera is much better than my first digital camera I purchased in 2005. Technology has certainly come a long way.
