Stairway to the sky


Sunnypark shopping centre in Sunnyside Pretoria has been undergoing a major renovation. This staircase with it's bulkheads leads to the top floor with a large sky light which floods the entire complex with natural light. In the post 1994 period after the first democratic elections much of the inner city decayed remarkably. Presently there has been a huge injection of capital to rejuvinate the city. Sunyside in particular has been a hive of activity with many new buildings being constructed.

Went to Sunnypark in december 2008 and the place is so unbelievably stunning. I most like the likes of Nandos, Cappello and Spur which has got a street feel.

I just hope that shop owners in Esselen Street will also give thir shops and the surroundings a little bit of life with small upgrades.
