Oh, I like that too - it is a pity there aren't seats there to sit and appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteLook, it pains me to say this, but Melbourne sort of does this contrast ... mmm ... good!!
ReplyDeleteHi Emm. It's surprising there aren't any seats. Perhaps they don't want to encourage people to sit and smoke on their breaks.
ReplyDeleteHey Julie. Hehe. Collins Street is a good spot to see the merging of old and new.
Love it.
