Great photo with Aussie flag in corner.

Australian towns/cities are funny things. Bendigo certainly has some classic architecture, as opposed to my home town of Coffs Harbour, which, architecturally speaking, is most probably the ugliest city in Australia, bar none. It also happens to be, nature wise, one of the most incredibly diverse and beautiful places in the country, which is why we are now full of Queenslanders and Victorians during Dec-Jan, every year.

Question: If Queensland is beautiful one day and perfect the next, why does half the state's population come to the Coffs Coast every summer? Answer: Because we have real beaches and real bananas

BIGRED - you've got a great story there of your trip down from the north , its just amazing how many spots there are in and around the township of bendigo. It was so hard to photograph the old court building, due to the silly signs they've placed around it, but i think you also achieved it.

OZImax - I'd have to agree about the banana's being really good there in coffs!! and i'd also agree about the architecture of the buildings there....they're not the nicest ones to photograph but the scenery blows your mind away, so its won me over for that reason.

I've just put the image on A3 and done a nice border around it with my sig, its come up really nice, its amazing how an image can improove with a border!

Here is the edited version.....framed and titled, do you guys like it or what suggestions might you have to improove it? thanks. kristen

Not sure about the caption Kristen, but the frame is great.

That being said, I've never built anything in my life, but I'm great at demolishing things. (I have two brothers who are builders and a son who is a draftsman).

Nicely done... did you consider HDR to get the best of the sky and the building?
