The Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles is the most remarkable building with its stainless steel panels curving around the facade. Designed by famed architect Frank Gehry in 2003. This was a bucket list item to see and photograph the concert hall. I still marvel the way light catches the panels.

The Carnegie train station is part of the Victoria Government plan for getting Melbourne moving into the future, the government spent billions into a more effective rail and road system. Raising railway platforms and lines to alleviate road traffic build up at railway crossing.

Picking the optimal time to photograph the sites and getting the balance of light is crucial in showing the building within its landscape.
