Here are some photos of buildings and cranes that I’ve taken over the last few days.
Trees on the level 29 balcony
Photo of a balcony that goes around the entire floor of a tall building. Planted along the edges of this balcony are several small trees in a row. The green of these trees contrasts with the blue of the sky that's reflected in the multi-angled glass windows of the floors above this balcony. This photo is taken from a neighbouring tall building.
Mr Cart at work
Photo of a very tall building-construction crane taken from below. The crane is framed between two buildings. The one on the right is under construction. A large sign attached to the back of the crane reads “Mr Cart”.
Media house entrance next to Southern Cross Station
Photo showing the length of an under-cover corridor of an office building. A large sideways sign that is taller than the door next to it shows the logo of the newspaper ‘The Age’.
Living in the Melbourne CBD
Photo of the very tops of two tall buildings taken from below some trees at street level. The two buildings are located in the Melbourne central business district (CBD), with the Liberty Tower Serviced Apartments building on the left and the (much taller) Melbourne Sky High Apartments building on the right.
A crane named Janet
Photo of a very tall building-construction crane taken from below. The crane is framed between two buildings, an older building on the left and modern building on the right. A large sign attached to the back of the crane reads “Janet” next to a painting of a large sunflower.
The dilapidated Sir Charles Hotham Hotel building
Photo of the tops of two buildings taken on a bright, sunny day. On the left, and in the foreground, is the round, domed tower of a dilapidated, four storey, 111 year old building. The pale yellow paint on this building is cracked and peeling. This is the Sir Charles Hotham Hotel building. On the right, and in the background, is a more modern building. This building is many storeys taller and has a metal and glass exterior. The building is designed with an exoskeleton on its outside: specifically, tall metal ribs going up and down its length. This is the Melbourne City Apartments building.
