Don't Miss the Forest for the Trees

It is the middle of Winter here.  Fall has come and gone, and so have the leaves.

I was waiting for the pedestrian lights to turn green one afternoon and noticed this building across the street. I have passed by this building dozens of times and failed to appreciate its beauty since the building is usually hidden behind the foliage.

I like these old buildings in Sydney.  I am glad they have survived the test of time and have not been knocked down in favour of glass and steel.

During this time of the year, St. Patrick's is visible from across the street as well.

If Mother stops to smell the sampaguitas, I stop to check out what's behind the trees.
