Powerhouse Museum Public Photo’s on Flickr
The Powerhouse Museum has posted over 400 Photo Plates on Flickr. You really have to take you hat of to them. It’s wonderful to make this so available to Australians. Hat tip to Sean Carmody.
This shot is quite sentimental for me. I grew up about 100 metres around the bend on the left from when I was two until four years old. I then moved to Perth until I was twelve before returning to live at Beauty Point (the right side on the other side of the water) until I was eighteen. After that I moved to Manly for a few years (bottom photo about 200 metres out of shot to the left).
This really gives me mixed emotions. Seeing the time difference between then and now gets me present to my short time on this earth, my mortality.
