This is the main dome above the State Theatre in Melbourne. It is an amazing landmark, with Eastern-style minarets on the sculpted roofline. I'm told that the interior is spectacular as well, but I've never been inside yet. I took this shot as I was walking down the street, when the soft floodlights caught my eye, as did the many miniature lights you can see on the dome itself. I was about 100 metres away when I took this shot, using my Sigma 18-125 lens to zoom in to the building's highest point. I didn't have a tripod with me, but I was pretty pleased with the result. If you'd like to see an interesting range of background information on the State Theatre, such as how the architectural drawings were completed in the unbelievable time of one month, go to an earlier post on this blog, Edifice Complex back in March last year.
