AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Domed Views


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Delightful domed building near the Melbourne Museum.
I loved how the tall windows accentuated the shape of the dome and the tiny ones in the dome itself looked like mini viewing spaces!

I agree that the windows work well with the rest of the dome. A fine architect designed this building.

You're right about the tall windows accentuating the height of the cupola. Lovely building!
