The building under construction to the left is going up rather quickly (for me anyway). It is part of the Innovation Precinct and from this website it looks like Vodafone will have a new home here. And the building to the right (just the façade left) is going to be restored – with fairly major steel supports going up recently. The city is fascinating at the moment, as so much is being built all over the central city that if you don’t visit a particular spot very often it can feel like a building has sprung out of nowhere.

There’s certainly a lot of steel going into the new Vodafone building, but what’s got me really mystified is that man on the roof who’s pointing at the Sun on the closer building to the left. Interesting capture!

That man is actually a 3.5 metre tall sculpture:

I thought he looked a bit tall too — Thanks, now I know.

Sometimes construction here goes quickly, and other times… seems to take forever.
