Great shot, this one. The light is awesome. I've taken a few shots of this building, but nothing worthy of publication. I always wanted to catch a guy in a suit on his phone up in one of those offices in the top left...
Hi Andrew. It looks different depending on the light and time of day, although that can't do anything about its location.
Hi Alan. I've taken a few shots as well, but this is the first that was worth posting, and then that's only because of the sky and the light.
I remember when they were building it - I'd walk past thinking, when are they going to slot that piece of glass into place...Eventually I realised it was meant to jut out like that.
* It has a lane named after rock band AC/DC and a swimming pool named after a Prime Minister who is believed to have drowned at sea
* Its vibrant multiculturalism
* Royal Botanic Gardens.
* Shady Caroline Street in South Yarra
* The disco balls hanging above Rankins Lane in the city
* The domed reading room of the State Library.
* The eucalyptus trees and old lamps beside the river near Fed Square.
* The huge mural spanning the length of the side wall of Dimmey's discount department store in Green Street Richmond
* The laneways, especially Degraves Street and Centre Place.
* The old terrace houses in the inner suburbs.
* The Royal and Block Arcades.
* The street art (commissioned and otherwise).
* The Victorian architecture, especially the interior of 333 Collins Street, the Olderfleet Building and the Melbourne Safe Deposit Building on Queen Street
* The view of the city at night from the Swan Street Bridge.
* The Windsor end of Chapel Street
* There's always a festival or major event happening.
It looks spectacular in the photo, but in real life, in its situation, I suspect not.
