My white whale

The hospital site at Beane Street West is very hard to photograph, 16th April 2018

Some of the building sites in Gosford, West Gosford and Point Frederick/East Gosford are tricky to photograph to my complete satisfaction due to being on one-lane streets (Lynn Avenue, Hargraves Street, Fielder Street) narrow two-lane streets (Kendall Avenue, Faunce St West, Donnison St West, Mann Street) or just tricky to photograph satisfactorily due to other reasons, like the Bonython Tower on Mann Street (too tall now) too much traffic (Kendall Street) or miles from the nearest parking space on a hot or cold day (all the hospital sites and 'Golf Heights').

And then there's the trickiest site of all to photograph: my white whale, the Beane Street West hospital site, the one bordered by Holden Street and the railway line along Showground Road. Getting clear views of that site has proved almost impossible so far. Beane Street East shows the site from from front to back (Showground to Holden) but not from side to side. Down on Showground Road and up on Holden Street, traffic safety barriers and the mesh on the fence prevent decent views from being snapped, and there's no building I can get access to that overlooks the site.

When I've got a whole morning, sometime this month, I'm going to stalk and bag as much as I can of Beane Street West and all the other hospital sites. I'll have to park down in Baker Street and walk up hill and down dale to get to all the hospital sites in one go. I'll get plenty of exercise.

Come back in a few days for more building site snaps.
