Historic buildings of Hobart - shopping centers

yesterday (sunday the 27th of March) I went into town to take some photos of Hobart city to experiment with and i instantly realised how old Hobart and the buildings really are. They have beautiful character and history imbedded in them.



















As I continued snapping away I realised the reason hadn’t previously acknowledged the fact that the shopping centre capital of Tasmania is built with in the walls of historic buildings is based upon the fact that human very rarely look up. We look down and clear a space for our feet yet there is very little reason to look up. What is positioned directly ahead of us is the typical revamped half of the building with all its signage and advertising drawing not only the eye but the customer to come into there clean cut shop.

So here I have captured the result of the transformation of time, from colonial buildings to modern day shopping centres.
