  1. Great shot of this old architecture! The edge light brings out the decorated surface beautifully and nicely enhances the ancient feel.

  10. I love the intricate stonework on this building. An art that is lost today. As Melbourne is such a new city we are hard pressed to find architecture as spectacular as this. I guess that is one of the reasons I like to travel. To see the historic buildings like this not present in Melbourne.
