Natural places struggle to survive man’s built environment – Albert Park Lake, Melbourne
Man
built over grassland
built into sky
built atop mountains
to nature defy
built into forest
built under water 
built in the desert
built bricks and mortar
built with cut wood
built with the earth
never understood
non stop building is death

every built patch a carnage
every built patch an ending
every built patch a destruction of what nature would have seen
every built patch an obliteration of what nature could have been

Melbourne has a rich architectural heritage. Sadly, much was lost to development in the 1970s. However, an innovative present is some consolation. I love to walk around the city taking photographs of the preserved buildings/facades of yesterday and the creative designs of today. I hope you, my reader, enjoy the view too.
