These two minarets stand proud and tall atop the old Forum Theatre. I shot this on Wednesday evening, as the clouds started to build up at dusk.
I had my long lens on, so I could have framed a tighter shot, but I wanted to include a contrast in styles and shapes. The spire in the distance is part of St Paul’s Cathedral.
St Paul's had a recent facelift, but the Forum, which is such a part of Melbourne's heritage and history, is suddenly starting (from the outside, at least) to look its age. Maybe there is a refurbishment plan around the corner ....

I love this. I hope the authorities, whoever they might be, don't let these beautiful minarets decay beyond repair.
very nice... I love the building too!!! Happy SkyWatch =)
I like that you included the spire in the distance.
Very baroque. What s the architectural influence for this bulb?
It's been a while since I've stopped by. (or at least stopped long enough to comment...)
Love this shot, such wonderful architecture and a beautifully dramatic sky.

I like the contrasts. Cool picture!
I just love this photo. They look so mystical.
Such a beauty of a shot! I love the hint of light coming out of the clouds behind the towers.
Oh, AND. Wanna co-host with me next week??
