Canberra Times fountain lighting up

Something must of happened – because they did not come on the entire time. Anybody see them on? – It’s a shame the entire focal point would of looked amazing….

great set of shots – like to see a follow up set capturing the public interaction context – what people do with it. look forward to those, then… 😉

Was the sculptor any relation to the reporter Bob Woodward of Watergate fame? Because that would be ironic, give the newspaper the fountain is named after…

Thanks for sharing the photos Martyo!

This fountain might become a historic memorial to something which no longer exists.

The new circulation figures – which The Canberra Times didn’t report this morning – show that the Saturday edition of the paper fell 6.6% and the Mon-Fri editions fell 4.7%. This continues the downward trend which prompted Fairfax to hold a crisis meeting late last year to come up with ideas to save the paper from closing.

The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age lost even more readers than the Crimes. By contrast most of the News Ltd papers (including the Daily Telegraph) reported healthy increases in circulation.

Sorry, I got those figures wrong. The Crimes’s fall in circulation is actually much worse. The Saturday edition fell 6.6%, the Mon-Fri editions fell 6.5% and the Sunday edition fell 4.7%.

I think Jack Waterford and Crispin Hull will need to do a bit more than just printing endless letters and articles from the usual suspects day after day bashing Tony Abbott if they want to stay in the journalistic trade in Canberra.

Hmm, I presume toilet paper sales are down then?

Awesome. The fisheye lens shot is quite extreme; looks good. I really like the monotone close up too.

Thats actually pretty cool.
