I am back in the city…

This week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge comes from Ritva, who invites us to share a photograph along with another edited version of it.

Last weekend I went back to Melbourne CBD and took the train. This is the new Town Hall underground railway station.

A few steps down is the Melbourne Town Hall.

And this is one of my favourite arcade in the CBD, The Block Arcade. Built in 1892 and modeled after Milan’s grand galleria, this heritage-listed landmark captivates visitors with its magnificent glass-domed roof, mosaic floors, and timeless nineteenth-century character.

Here I will also be linking this post to Ju-Lyn’s Happy Place Happy Space. Yes I know that this is my happy place.

Passed by this eye-catching, music-themed murals on the doorways of Club Retro, located in Lonsdale Street. It was created by a local artist, Louis Moore.

  1. Teresa, what a lovely place to take photos, and I like the crops and moves you took to create these images. The conversion to B&W is good, I like it better than the original. Melbourne was a lovely city visit and The Block Arcade we unfortunately missed seeing

    The arcade is amazing, Teresa, and that is one of the best corner doors we’ve ever had on Thursday Doors. I love the colorful photos. Each place looks so alive. I think this post is helping me to wake up.
