Architecture of Melbourne

Flinders Street and the Yarra River at Dawn.

Melbourne, one of the most livable city in the world, is a beautiful city. Having spent quite a number of years there, it always feels like home when I am back at this place.

Ponyfish Island. A secret little hangout place under the pedestrian bridge.

This post intends to give a few glimpses of the architecture in Melbourne. Some places are more touristy than others (e.g. Flinders Street Station, Block Arcade), but hopefully you'll find them interesting. It was also around this time that I first got a really wide lens (Fujifilm XF 10-24mm), so it was a lot of fun shooting and experimenting with the ultra-wide perspective.

Dome, Melbourne Central.

La Trobe Reading Room, State Library of Victoria.

Block arcade. A Victorian-styled shopping arcade in the city center.

The Great Hall, National Gallery of Victoria.

Seafarer's Bridge, Docklands.

Christmas illumination at the Melbourne City Town Hall.

Strozzi Building, Melbourne. The dome was decorated for the Christmas season.

Another view of the Royal Exhibition Building. It is one of the last surviving 19th century building, and was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 2004.
