MY WORLD

OUTLOOK!
This municipal edifice in the centre of our city,
I think is quite attractive, and verging on the pretty!
It's right beside the park, as well, which gives it added grace,
And makes Newcastle's environs a very pleasant place.
But I think our rates are calculated in this mock rotunda
And goodness knows 'they' seem to plan to pillage and to plunder!
'Never judge a book by its cover'... that's a phrase we often use
So this building represents the fact that we've got to pay our dues!
Maybe the numerous windows 'keep an eye on us' poor saps;
Definitely part of 'My World' but not the best, perhaps!

I does look like a retainer of some sort - hiding something. I have seen better looking modern con-struction in Australia than this! However, you must all have approved the plans before it went up. By the way, talking about 'paying our dues' - what is the state of the economy there, or is that too serious a topic for this venue?!!
I agree it is a beautiful building. Your commentary made me smile--clever and funny.
It looks like a giant coffee mug. I wonder what shaped the rooms take with round walls. I can visualize pie shaped rooms as they get smaller toward the center of the edifice. But then, I'm no architect.
Great looking building and, yes, your commentary made me smile, too! We do get to pay the price, one way or another, don't we? Hope you have a great week, Brenda!

That's a great looking building.

That really is different, I bet it's great to work in.
Absolutely a different shaped building than I am use to. It would be interesting to be able to see the inside as well. See how the rooms are shaped.
Beautiful building but I think I'd be fearful of all the windows too ;0)
What an unusual building. Must be great to work in there.
I love the fact we have duplicate place names, our Newcastle is quite differnt as are the accents...way I man! lol!
I agree with you about the attractiveness of the rotunda. Hopefully, it gives the folk inside such a positive outlook as will moderate their calculations.
Love the architecture!
I do agree the building is beautiful and well appointed on the site. Good shot.
