My theme this week is Street Scenes.  We have been able to get out and about a bit more now and so we enjoyed some time away from home but we are still being careful and kept our social distance, mainly staying in the car.

We had a trip into the City (Adelaide) this week and I took a lot of photos, most from the car as we drove around, but we did stop and get a few other photos too, so I will keep this theme going for a few weeks as there is a lot to see and I think I will have to make a few more trips into the city as I only captured a small section of the city.  

It was great to be a tourist again as we don't go into the city much any more because we have almost everything we need in our local area.

This was taken as we drove along North Terrace, one of the 4 terraces that surround the central business district of Adelaide.  North Terrace runs East-West along the square mile of Adelaide and many of the public buildings are along this terrace including the Museum, the Library and the University of Adelaide.

Intercontinental Hotel 

This building is known as "The Cheese Grater" because of its exterior surface.  It is in fact the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute.  

Adelaide's $200 million crystal palace, with its 6290 triangular glass panels twinkling and changing colour in the sun, is set to become the city's new landmark building.

Adelaide University

The Adelaide Library

Parliament House on the corner of North Terrace and King William Street from the North Terrace side.

And in front of Parliament House were these bright orange scooters which seem to be on every street around the city.

The City Bridge over the River Torrens.  

The Rotunda on the River Torrens.

The Riverbank Footbridge, $40 million  bridge for pedestrians and cyclists which links the Adelaide Oval to the Railway Station.

A section of the  footbridge with the  2000 sq mtr of glass cladding which extends around  the length of the footbridge.

The footbridge to the Convention Centre

And St Peters Cathedral, but the sun was unfortunately not helping my photo today.

I did manage to get a photo of the side of the Cathedral and the car park, that was the best I could do, but I thought I could not leave it out as after all we are in the City of Churches!
