The view along the GPO

Posted by Wayne (Melbourne, Australia) on 5 September 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

This was taken on one of my breakfast with Sam the Nurse (aka Super Sam) at one of my favourite breakfast haunts - the Federal Coffee Palace at the GPO (which is also one of my favourite buildings in Melbourne).

I love the GPO for its successful ability to blend Old World Charm and Character with Modern sleekness and speed. The interior is a joy to behold. This shot's of the walkway along which Federal Coffee Palace is located.

I love the orange sodium lights and the contrast they provide...plus the perspective the building affords is just priceless.
