Canberra, Australia's Capital City, a beauty

From this vantage point, atop this hill, Walter Burley Griffin, an American architect laid out his vision of Canberra. Beautiful and inspiring.

Standing from where Griffin first made his great plans for Canberra. Down the central highway and across the lake, one can see Australia's Houses of Parliament. The first colonial style building (white) are the old houses of Parliament. Looking further up,one can see a type of triangle with the Australian flag fluttering in the breeze. Thereunder are the new Houses of Parliament. Very, very impressive. Now this is a long range shot and I will lead you closer as we begin to visit them.
Now the reason for the triangle which dwarfs the building is symbolic. This being that the legs represent the people of Australia,and subsequently, Parliament is under them as it should be and not the other way around. Beautiful.

Hereon is the scenario which leads you to the entrance of Parliament. Beautiful. Notice the flag poles with no flags and the old House of Parliament in the background. Parliament was not sitting on the day I went, however some University kids were being handed their degree's in this impressive building. Apart from that there were the tourists and visitors. Busy, even when not sitting.
Now I am going to go back to my old favourite, the photo module gallery and lead you on from there and some other scenes of the landscape. It saves one having to write a monologue and it's true, every picture tells a story, oftentimes better.
