Buildings and statues
I had to run an errand in the city so I took some photos on the way back.
Chimera outside the ‘Gothic Bank’ building on Collins Street
Photo of a chimera sitting on a pedestal fixed to a wide column that’s part of a building with a gothic facade. A chimera is a fantastical or mythical figure depicting a combination of multiple animals carved from stone and fixed to the walls or roof of a building. This one is a lion with wings that is holding a shield.
Prince Alfred’s Tower at the Melbourne Town Hall on a bright, sunny day
Photo looking up at a tall clock tower that is flying the Australian flag. The photo is partly washed-out because of the bright sun that’s just out of frame.
Pigeon on the Captain Matthew Flinders Statue on Swanston Street
Photo of a tall bronze statue mounted on a large granite slab located outside a cathedral. The statue depicts Matthew Flinders in his Commander’s uniform, standing on the prow of a boat, braced against the wind, brought ashore by two seamen. A pigeon is standing on the statue’s head.
