Botanic Gardens, Herb Garden
Shadows in the Botanic Gardens cast by pots in the
Herb Garden surrounding a memorial to actress Nellie Stewart, who was born in the nearby suburb of Woolloomooloo in 1858. I must admit I'd never heard of this actress before I saw this memorial but not completely surprising considering that she died in 1931. It made me think that people must have always been fascinated by celebrities, as they are today.
