This shot of the three rooftop satellite dishes was taken at Federation Square, here in the heart of Melbourne. Built on the site of the old Gas and Fuel towers, Fed Square (as Melburnians refer to it) literally commemorates the centenary of Federation. The Commonwealth of Australia was inaugurated on 1 January 1901, after a decade of planning and consultation. Fed Square, a huge tourist attraction, is always a great sight, but after dark it develops a magical aura. To me, the beautifully lit nooks and crannies hold as much fascination as the subtle overhead lighting, almost star-like in its presence.
