But are they art?
Three views of the stacks. I remember these from my childhood even though I lived on the other side of Sydney at the time.

This one accords with my earliest memories. I would like to track down the viewpoint if at all possible, but I suspect it is long gone - if it ever existed. Painting by C Giles c.a.1995. Private collection.

And finally the art more normally associated with the area these days.

I would have to say at least 50% of those pics would equate to art Greg. :mrgreen:

hey look, thats my car in that photo! of wait, maybe not... :wink:

a very familiar place, those clouds in the 2nd are awesome, i think alittle contrast love and they may well pop out.

with regard to the brickworks, it does not make alot of sense to me, the only trainline is on the west side (st peters) and the only line splits (looks like a corner and split) near there are on teh st peters platform. Additionally the stacks seem wrong? there are actually 4 stacks with only one round one - maybe using google maps and sat view you maybe able to get closer.

ya gotta love teh street art in newtown and surrounds, great stuff and that shot sums up alot of feeling in teh area

I agree with the others that the stack can be improved.....

This is a crude attempt.
