The Shine Dome, Canberra

ÀCanberra landmark since its construction in 1959, the Shine Dome has received numerous awards and is one of seven projects the Royal Australian Institute of Architects has nominated to the World Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture.
Many people think of Sydney as Australia’s Capital, but it is not. The capital is Canberra, a small, purpose designed and built city in the Australian Capital Territory. It is inland, in the lower levels of the Snowy Mountain Range, with a population of around 400,000. With embassies, the head departments of all government agencies, and federal Parliament House, it is a city with lots af cultural and artistic facilities. I have lived here for only 6 years, but have become a real lover of it.
Happy Sunday, everyone.

Such an impressive looking piece of architecture, and it looks to be in superb condition considering how long ago it was constructed.

It's set in really beautiful surrounding as well. An excellent shot Diana..!!

Super shot. Canberra has many futuristic buildings llke Brasilia dating from the same period . I have yet to visit either city but I remember how they caught my imagination as a boy.

Glad you are enjoying Canberra. We loved it too, living there for 3 years, in the 90s.
