The Rocks, clock tower

This view is from the rooftop of the Glenmore Hotel at The Rocks. The clock tower rises above the Clocktower Square shopping centre and the autumn leaves of the trees in Argyle Street. This contemporary, but already dated design, seems quite out of place in an area full of heritage buildings such as the Museum of Contemporary Art partly seen in the background. The contemporary office buildings nearby, rising from Circular Quay into the city centre, might be a closer match.
