The story of this place
Flinders Street Station is Melbourne's most recognised landmark and photographs best during blue hour when the interior lights create a warm glow through the arched windows against the darkening sky. The classic composition from the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets places Federation Square across the Yarra as context. A 24mm wide-angle captures the full facade; a 70mm isolates individual arch windows. The yellow station facade reflects beautifully on rain-wetted streets after evening showers. Night-time long exposures turn passing trams into coloured light trails through the intersection.
