Quintessential Adelaide

As Adelaide prepares once again to showcase itself to the world I ponder the question what picture typifies quintessential Adelaide. Here are some suggestions. The Festival Centre complex now looks so good (particularly at night)and it expresses something of the aspirations of at least a sector of the community.



The Glenelg vista. Now, in my opinion, ruined by high rise development says something about the selling out of the popular interests to commerce, as well as show casing our fabulous gulf beaches

The Rundle Mall Balls or the Pigs or anyone of a number of modernistic sculptures appeal to me.


And of course as an Anglican if one were to pick a church in the city of Churches it would have to be our own Cathedral. Like my second daughter it never takes a bad photo

What do you think?
