The Pill and Beyond

The Tower will be gone by the end of the year. The row of houses you can see behind are part of the suburb of Millers Point - a lot of the historic housing has been approved for sale and will also be gone. The tall building to the right is The Palisades Hotel - it has recently been restored, reburbished and re-opened last year.

@mastermek yep the hotel looks good...I will plan a visit for a drink and to get some photos before the whole area changes

Changes come and dramatically alter the landscape! Good photo for history!

Change may be the only constant but I wish that it would just take its flipping time so we can really think about the consequences it brings.

Its a shame that part of history will be gone but this is a gorgeous capture

Nothing stays the same for ever does it. You will have to take lots of photos to preserve history.

@onewing Sadly some things - like the housing in Millers Point - are lost to greed

I find all that kind of 'progress' profoundly depressing. A pox be upon them and all their houses.

I like your image which I find totally sypathetic to the spirit of this historically important area. I also read the links which I found profoundly distressing, especially that related to the Pill..."Don't confuse us with the facts - we've already made poor minds up!"

@vignouse :) poor Richard - I love facts and am developing quite an interest for our disappearing heritage areas - close your eyes and think of England when my facts are too much LOL

My comment about the facts was aimed at the authorities as it seems to be the attitude that they are taking! Me... I eat facts for breakfast!

@vignouse I do too Richard....I really must learn to read your meaning...I am normally better at it..ha ha...must be the wine 😊
