A photograph of an older couple standing in front of the Queen Victoria building and talking about something behind them as the man’s pointing hand may indicate. I took this photograph because of their relation to the direction he was pointing to. I could imagine him saying “this behind us, my dear, is a Queen Victoria Building and we are standing right next to the Queen Victoria statue” and yet neither of them turned around to look.

This musician was playing in front of Queen Victoria Building. Now, I personally do not consider a mandolin as great contemporary instrument for self expression but this young man thought otherwise. Playing his mandolin music, as if it was the best of Gibson guitars he poured his heart into the performance.

It is not often that I think of Telstra BigPond as “cool”. It is a reliable ISP. I use it for email and blogging. Today, BigPond had an advertising campaign in front of QVB (Queen Victoria Building, Sydney), which not only looked cool but in fact attracted quite a lot of notice. The promotion is called Suitables
Queen Victoria Building – QVB
by Ted Szukalski |The Queen Victoria Building, often referred to as the QVB, was designed by George McRae. The building was completed in 1898.
The QVB occupies an entire city block between George, Market, York and Druitt Streets. The centre dome is the dominant feature, consisting of an inner glass and an exterior copper dome. Glorious stained glass windows are plentiful throughout the building. There are marvelous hanging clocks.
In 1984 QVB was completely refurbished as a shopping centre, probably the prettiest one in the world at the very least it certainly is the most stylish.
