The Sunny Side of the Street
The nearest edifice lies along the Northern edge of Fed (Federation) Square, Melbourne, and is the major building on the site, part of the Melbourne Arts Precinct. It houses the Australian segment of the National Gallery of Victoria, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, and the Koorie Heritage Trust.
In the distance is the locally iconic Flinders Street Station, completed in 1909. The grey building obscuring the station is an ugly temporary intrusion, part of the construction of underground railway extensions. I was on the steps "under the clocks" at the station when I took this recent posting Chloé Watching For Trams. The two images illustrate the mixture of old and new often seen side by side in Melbourne.
