Green Wall

Burnett Lane has some interesting things to look at if you happen to walk through it... like this. It is a giant print on a vinyl mesh so you can kind of see parts of the building and lights behind it.

The artist is Simon Suckling and it is entitled "The Green Wall".

Burnett Lane - make-under special!

Well after months of anticipation, the all new fashionable Burnett Lane is open for business. I reckon it's more of a make-under than a make-over. The only difference I can see is that the lane has a pretty pattern on the pavement. Not that I'm complaining. I liked it fine the way it was/is. They've stuck a few chairs and tables out there for people to relax on and throughout the month of October there is going to be lunchtime entertainment.

April Theme Day: Red

It's the first of the month which means it's Theme Day for City Daily Photo bloggers. This month's theme is Red.

Burnett Lane in the city is due for a refurb. I did a little 3-part series on it a few weeks back showing how it is now (click on the Burnett Lane label below to see). I hope they don't touch these pipes - I think they are quite a feature.

Backstage

This is the third of three snapshots of Burnett Lane before it goes under the knife for a $2.5m makeover. This is the back of some buildings on Adelaide Street. Things I like about this wall: the red door, the crumbling old chimney being held up by those rusty brackets and the contrasting lines of the two stairwells. Lit properly, this could be a feature!

Let There Be Light

This is the second of three snaps showing the character of Burnett Lane before it gets a facelift.

Perhaps when they jazz the place up, residents and businesses might feel the need to re-open their blocked up windows. I wonder if the impending makeover includes decorating the air-conditioner units?

March Theme Day: Passageway

Burnett Lane: 1 of 3.

Today is the first of the month, and so it is the monthly theme day for participants in the City Daily Photo blog community. For this month, the theme is Passageway. I've chosen Burnett Lane in the city. It's an old passageway which links Albert and George streets and has been earmarked for a very fancy $2.5m makeover due for completion in June. I thought I'd give you three glimpses over the next three days of how it is now and then perhaps in June I can take a few more shots and you can see if the council spent their money wisely...
