Our Sydney grandsons Felix and Zac study their reflections in the square tiles of a giant disco ball at Carriageworks, Sydney.
Today marks the end of a great holiday in Sydney, as well as “Theme Day” for the City Daily Photo bloggers. The theme for May is “Squares” (after “Triangles” last month – will it be “Pentagons” next?).. Click here to see other contributions to the theme.

The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia is hosting an exhibition of works by the renowned artist Anish Kapoor. We visited the museum the day before the opening, and found a gigantic stainless steel mirror (concave towards the sky, to watch the clouds go by, and to see some highrise buildings, depending on the angle of view; and convex towards the museum building). Ten metres in diameter, it is a spectacular sight.
From the MCA web page:
“In this selection of key works across two floors of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, you can encounter Kapoor’s powerful artworks up close and in-depth. Highlights include 1000 Names (1979-80), his early powdered pigment geometric sculptures; Void (1989), a large deep blue sculpture that changes from a convex to a concave form depending on your position; one of the artist’s most ambitious works, the 24-ton Memory (2008) which completely fills one of the MCA’s spacious galleries as if squeezed between the white walls; and the monumental My Red Homeland (2003), which replicates the role of the artist. In this enormous circular sculpture, a large motorised steel blade slowly cuts a course through 25 tons of red wax, endlessly dissecting and re-shaping it into new forms.”

Sydney Harbour Scenes
At the corner of Oxford and Nelson Streets, Bondi Junction. It is always fun to see painted utility boxes in other places, although I did not come across many here in Sydney.
The artist is Stephen Evans.
