I arrived after dark one evening, so went out for a stroll to sort out where I was and where I would be going the next day for the conference. I was staying on North Terrace so walked about there for an hour or so. It's one of the major streets in the city, lots of old buildings (old for Australia) and universities, the State Library and Art Gallery, Parliament, the Convention Centre. All in easy walking distance.
I know this is next one is out of focus but I think it looks cool. The purple building changed colour.
Saturday Snapshot, is a wonderful weekly meme from at home with books

Oh, I wish I'd seen this side of Adelaide! When I was there for work last year, most nights ended with me collapsing exhausted in the hotel room. Though I did make it to that dessert cafe, at least...
I did find a nice walk, but sadly I didn't find any dessert cafes! Or any cafe actually.
A really enjoyable series of photos. Thanks for sharing!
The pictures are beautiful. I love to find out about far-off places.
It seems like you captured some great parts of Adelaide. A city I'll probably never see except in photos. Here's Mine
I have been really yearning to visit Australia, and you've shown some tempting shots! Thanks!
I especially love the detail on the buildings....
Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
Oh, wow! Those are fantastic shots. I love the window - how cool is that! Thanks for sharing. I've never been to Australia so it's nice to see a little bit of it in photos.
What beautiful pics. Australia would be an experience!
I enjoyed seeing these -- a place i will probably never visit:(
It feels like I've just had a virtual tour of Adelaide... hpe I can visit one day!
You captured such interesting images! You have a great eye for color, light, and shadows ...
Just beautiful! I would love to visit there one day.
Nice. That last one is striking. I wish I would have had time to get to Adelaide when I visited Aus, but there were just too many wonderful places to see.
Love the lady with the books...I feel like her some days :)
Those are all fantastic, but my favorites are the ones with the stairs and the columns.
Very sad eyes and very nice lighted columns.
Cheri and I anjoyed our stay in Adelaide 9 years ago.
We walked a lot to see the town.
You have a wonderful eye. The photos are beautiful.
Those are wonderful! So many great angles and details.
My Snapshot

Thanks for sharing these images from a city I've yet to visit.
Lovely pictures! Thanks for sharing--especially since it's unlikely that I'll ever make it to Adelaide.
Here's my Snapshot.
These photos are wonderful! Thanks for sharing. I especially like the blurry street and the last photo of the columns and the leaves. Beautiful.
I love Adelaide ... we were last there in about 2006 or 2007 (and I think before that it was probably the 1980s for me too, though we had been to other parts of SA in around 2000). Stayed on North Terrace as well, went to an event in the Botanic Gardens and then spent the weekend in McLaren Vale. Great city.
I think that a night tour is quite revealing and shows a different side of a city... the window is amazing.
Bises,

Oh my! Someone made a statue of me and I didn't even know it! (Yes, that's me, with the books propping up my life.)
