Sunset storm
These passing cumulonimbus clouds with the typical anvil shape were, from the weather radar, about 40 km distant from me. A short thunderstorm for some. Best viewed large.

Pyrmont foreshore
Pyrmont is an inner Sydney harbourside suburb that was formerly an industrial area, later a slum. In the 1990s it was rebuilt with new apartment buildings and offices, keeping a few historic buildings such as the Cooperage (earlier image).

MG Cyberster
This MG Cyberster was one of the stars of the electric vehicle show I recently visited in Sydney.
Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a great weekend to follow.
The Cooperage
Built in Sydney in 1901 to manufacture rum barrels (a rum distillery was nearby), this building has been preserved and the interior now rebuilt as executive offices, though with some historic links, such as the old barrel lift and some other old equipment (PiPs). There also is now a very good coffee shop (with the folded black umbrella seen in the first PiP). Happy Wednesday Wall, everyone.
