The old Commonwealth Bank building reflected in the glass of Forrest Chase in Perth. A collision of the old and new, of traditional service with commercial aggression, facing off across Forrest Place, a pedestrian precinct.

The two sides of the precinct are quite far apart both physically and metaphorically, although the march of time has meant the bank business is no more and neither is the large post office which took over. Instead there are merely more chain stores selling the same tat as everywhere else but housed in a heritage building. Sigh.

(Bigger is undoubtedly better. Please press Z.)
