Stained Glass

Today saw us taking a climb up to the top of the Pylon Tower lookout of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Lovely pictures of Sydney and surrounds were taken from the lookout, but I settled on this shot of the stained glass window in a chamber of the tower.

The window was created and installed in 2003. The appearance of the window changes all day long, light is reflected, illuminated and projected as the outside lighting level rises and falls.

The glass artist was Robin Seville, and she describes her work below:

After many discussions with the designers and much research, I was sure that the approach had to be bold, colourful and contemporary, but with an underlying Art Deco theme giving both a sense of time and place
