KELA building (National Pension Institution)

Back in Melbourne we visited the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) at Federation Square. This houses the finest collection of Australian art in the country (largely the result of several major bequests going back to the halcyon days of the Victorian gold rush in the 1880s).
The architecture of Federation Square is clearly post-modern, in so far as it seems to be an eclectic mix of radical styles based on geometric patterns. This atrium is a good example. It is through here that we enter the NGV (Federation Square).
The architects of Federation Square were Peter Davidson and Donald Bates from Lab Architecture.
Another view of the Thompson Center, looking up into its central atrium.

I shot this picture in 1973 when the IDS center opened. I ran it through Snapseed to help mask the effects of 40 years of sitting in a slide carousel can do!
I shot this with my new Nikon F2, and a borrowed fish-eye lens from Brand's Camera.
We spent the first couple of days in Hong Kong just getting familiar with the city and getting our "human" internal GPS configured. It can get a little confusing to walk around and get back to where you came from unless you are really paying attention to landmarks.
I got lost a couple of times and one time i actually had to take a taxi back to our hotel. I was finally successful in flagging down a taxi after watching many drive by with a passenger in the back seat. I hopped in and said "Holiday Inn Express Soho".
The driver who spoke english very well, looked at me confused and said: "Where is that?" ...
At first I thought: Oh great .. i'm lost and i had to flag down a taxi that was lost too !! LOL After a short moment of silence i said: i know its around here somewhere but I was hoping you would know!?!
He asked me for the address and he looked it up on his iPhone map app. I had my iPhone too but could not look it up and risk a costly overseas data download fee. He found it and we had a very pleasant conversation during the short journey to the hotel. I was lost but i was not very far away.
Anyhow ... by the third day i knew how to get to where i was going. I went out for a photo excursion very early the next morning while my 2 ladies were sleeping in the hotel. My plan was to catch a sunrise over Victoria Harbour. I made it to the harbour but i turned in the wrong direction. No sunrise. The next morning i turned in the right direction.
There are a number of public piers along the harbour. People use them in the morning for fishing, sitting, walking, running, taichi, etc ... etc ... etc ...The sun began to rise right on schedule over Kowloon on the other side of the bay. I used the public pier to frame the morning light.
Have a great day everyone.

5 exposure variant HDR image. Taken with my new Pentax SMC DA 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 ED[IF] Fisheye lens. Much fun lies ahead. This is the full photo so view larger for detail. Liking this lens very much.
You can see my arm in the lower right. I need to be mindful of body parts getting into the fov at 180 degrees diagonal.

Description: View of the atrium at the Atrium Village apartment building, showing seating and planters in the common area. The building, at 300 West Hill Street, was originally part of a mixed-income housing complex built by the Chicago-Orleans Housing Corporation. Except for this nine-story apartment building, the rest of the original Atrium Village complex was demolished beginning in late 2015 to make way for high-rise redevelopment.

This is the grand atrium lobby of the Grand Hyatt Jakarta, the grand-daddy of the 5 star Jakarta hotel since its inauguration in 1991. The hotel has evolved from classic luxury to a modernist heaven by a string of refurbishment projects, only the lobby has stood against the test of time and remains as it is from its conception. It is a favourite place of mine and I'm still in awe everytime I am here.
The lobby also features its own luxury shopping arcade, named Galleria Grand Hyatt, which among others features a Richard Mille watch boutique, with haute horlogerie that costed anywhere from USD 100,000 to almost USD 1,000,000.
The impressive scale of the famous Lloyd's of London atrium.
As a side note this weekend was the first time using the Sigma 12-24mm II DG HSM - I love this lens, the angle of view at 12mm on a full frame is incredibly addictive!
