Outdoor dining in winter in Federation Square. On a cold, wintry and slightly wet night. An iconic Melbourne city night view.
Light was pretty poor. Wishing I had my tripod so I could have chosen higher F and so more detail. Kick kick kicking myself.
Hi all! I've just returned from a 1 week hike to parts of the Eastern Arthurs during which we had amazing conditions - this shot of Federation Peak taken during a morning of 360 degree colour :)
Precipitous Bluff is in the background
I was hoping to capture this scene in the blue hour but unfortunately with my limited stay in Melboune didn't make it at the ideal time....but I like the city vibe.
Federation Square is a cultural precinct in Melbourne, Australia. It comprises a series of buildings containing a public broadcaster, art galleries, a museum, cinemas, exhibition spaces, auditoria, restaurants, bars and shops around two major public spaces, one covered (The Atrium), the other open to the sky, and composed of two spaces that flow into one another (St. Paul's Court and The Square). The majority of the precinct is built on top of a concrete deck over busy railway lines. Construction began in 1998 and the site opened in 2002.
Federation Square occupies roughly a whole urban block bounded by Swanston, Flinders, and Russell Streets and the Yarra River. The open public square is directly opposite Flinders Street Station and St Paul's Cathedral. The layout of the precinct helps to connect the historical central district of the city with the Yarra River and a new park Birrarung Marr. This refocusing of the city on the Yarra River also partly reinforces links with the Southbank district, whose redevelopment has been ongoing as a key part of central Melbourne since the late 1980s.
The site of Federation Square has had a variety of former uses. The Gas and Fuel Buildings, Jolimont Yard and the Princes Bridge railway station were the immediate predecessors, though in the 19th century there was a morgue on the site. The result of an international design competition in 1997, Federation Square was designed by Don Bates and Peter Davidson of Lab Architecture Studio. A key part of the plaza design is its large, fixed public screen, which has been used to broadcast major sporting events, such as the AFL Grand Final, and still continues to do so. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, thousands of football fans braved cold nights to watch the matches on the Federation Square screen.
The complex of buildings forms a rough U-shape around the main open-air square, oriented to the west. The eastern end of the square is formed by the glazed walls of The Atrium. While bluestone is used for the majority of the paving in the Atrium and St. Paul's Court, matching footpaths elsewhere in central Melbourne, the main square is paved in 470,000 ochre-coloured sandstone blocks from Western Australia, intended to invoke images of the Outback. The paving is designed as a huge urban artwork called 'Nearamnew', by Paul Carter and gently rises above street level, containing a number of textual pieces inlaid in its undulating surface.
I personally thought the whole site was an ugly modern monstrosity....'carbuncle' comes to mind. Seen from the Eureka Skydeck on the 88th floor of 7, Riverside Quay, Southbank in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

2020 made for an interesting 'update' for the Chinese Federation special units, much like the infantry units, special units were reissued old Soviet-era gear with varying enhancements to still give them the fighting edge in the field. The major plus side to this was the plethora of munitions after engagements with the Insurgents as used the same Soviet-era weapons.
The major flaw with said special units was the lack of them, teams due to lack of supply and new editions gradually reduced down to three or four-man teams with a 50:50 chance of completing their mission. More team members and those statistics could change but the serious lack of effort by the Chinese mainland has led to seriously hurt its forces abroad.

Not too much to say about these guys, other than the fact I need another black SVD lmao, but the general idea is still there thus posting it was given the green light. I'm super proud of the carried over minimalist vibe from the infantry. Hope Y'all enjoy!

My favourite building in Melbourne, it is a great HDR subject with all the lines, angles and glass. This was taken just before Christmas while decorated with the large red balls. I tried this shot last year and had trouble getting a sharp shot as the balls move slightly in whatever breeze comes in the entrance.
Photographers ( 2 ) and pedestrian, Federation Square, early morning, so many triangles, Pythagoras must have been here.
Not really a rover, but still a planetary surface transport vehicle. These cars were used by officers and higher-ranking civilian staff on the larger colonies and were quite ubiquitous on the streets and byways of Federation worlds.

The three UAVs used by the Federation:
(Left to right)
S-4 UAV: The Surveillance-4 is the Federation's smallest UAV. Designed to fit inside the backpack of an infantry man, the S-4 is primarily used by Federation infantry and Special Operations. It is affectionately called the 'Esek Ari'(Wasp).
A-9 UAV: The A-9 UAV is the Federation's smallest UAV capable of attacking targets. It is essentially a larger version of the S-5 UAV. The A-9 has two types of missiles: radar-guided/laser guided missiles, and radar-homing missiles.
S-5 UAV: The S-5 UAV is the main Federation UAV, and is notable for it's exceptional range. The S-5 is controlled by Engineers, as it is much more complicated than the S-4. It has three cameras, and carries two flares for avoiding missiles.
