Looping-the-loop around the Archibald Fountain

A friend queried an image I included in a post last week, wanting to know why the gent was facing AWAY from the cathedral rather than facing TOWARD it.

Here are the competing views. In the bird's-eye-view of the fountain, the first image in today's post was taken from the College Street steps of the cathedral. The photo of the gent last week was taken from the garden bench I have labelled 1. Today's view of the cathedral was taken from the garden bench I have labelled 2. The two smaller photos (taken from Sydney Tower in Sept 2013) will both enlarge and are labelled.
