Old And New

We strolled by the new WA Museum Boola Bardip in Perth, enjoying the architecture.
Ingo, where is your hat?

Hello, Iris
The museum is beautiful, I like the reflections and modern architecture. I guess the sight of cranes is a sign of progress and a good economy. I remember the Montgomery Stores, they have been closed for decades now. The museum has a nice bird exhibit and I love the Black Swan. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

One of my roommates in Thailand in 1969 was from Perth. She was very white, that's for sure.

...too often the old gets engulfed by the new!

Thank you, Eileen, more birds are on the way. Yes Perth is always growing!
I´ve never heard of Montgomery Stores.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, in Australia the sun is a killer. Always wear sunscreen and a hat.

Iris Flavia said...

Dead birds ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, in Perth they take care to combine or integrate. They preserve the old.

It´s brand new (well, to me - first time pre-Covid, first time after 5 long, whopping years, dear friend.
More to come, cheers

Well, usually we went every two years ... and then Covid hit.

I'd love to see more of that museum. The architecture is very cool! We had a bit of snow today. Hope your weather was sunny and not too cold. hugs-Erika

Very nice museum and reflections. I wonder about the numbers of people shopping in that photo. Did they all come in for some sort of promtional sale? surely there wouldn't normally be that many women all at once?

Granny Sue said...

I saw on Facebook that someone had made a snow lion! Reminded me of your Henry.
Nice museum, but sad birds :/

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, all new!

Iris Flavia said...

I´ll show more :-)
Aw, wee, -1C/ 30F, cloudy... hope yours is warmer, hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, looks like some kind of promotion sale, maybe pre-Tupper Ware?

Iris Flavia said...

Ohhh, a snow lion! I sadly missed that!
