Glebe Tram Sheds

Yesterday was probably our last trip out to the Glebe Tram Sheds, redevelopment is occurring now and a new fence and screen has been placed all around the perimeter. It was our third visit in this amazing place and it will be sad to give up such a wonderful photographic subject.



The day started with a stop off at Leichhardt to photograph a Syke mural and one photo in, my batteries died. Our backups were also flat! Not happy Jan. Anyway my partner managed to have both batteries and a memory card and did the honours. 



We saw the "Blue Mox" of the Natural History Museum of London (car and garbage bags blocking the view), an interesting power box and toilet block. Unexpected discoveries are always sweeter.

Lucky for me, but not my wallet, a small corner store had batteries at somewhat inflated prices and we stopped for fish and chips at a place claiming to be the "BEST" fish and chips in the suburb. I doubt it.



The tram sheds are always interesting and we had a great time finding the changes since we last visited and searching out new ideas for photography.


I felt like I was saying goodbye as we left. It's obvious things are changing now and workmen were on site nearby, even on a Saturday. If you haven't seen the tram sheds at Glebe, you've probably missed the boat. No doubt some new place will spring up in its place and that will be a new adventure.


Happy hunting,
