Sitting in the Pinnacles Restaurant in Myers Department Store looking out across Forrest Place to the imposing stone facade of the old General Post Office, built in 1923 this heritage listed city landmark is one of my favourite buildings in the city, even though only a very small section of it is now used as a post office. Do you have a building that makes your heart beat a little faster :) in your city? Bon weekend, take care and stay safe...

The old post office really catches my eye. I can see why it appeals to you!
ReplyDeletesuch a nice view
ReplyDeleteGrace, that is an impressive Neo-Classic building. I also love the old Post Offices.
ReplyDeleteI love that shot, Grace. No pun intended, but it is very graceful!
ReplyDeleteThe building is beautiful and your composition and choice of mono is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThis could easily be the 60s or 70s. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteThey don't make post offices like that anymore. Nice image!
ReplyDeleteMelbourne's own Manchester Unity building never ceases to stop me to peer up at its magnificence.
ReplyDeleteIt is usually the older buildings that stop me in my tracks, Grace, although I am a fan of modern architecture!
ReplyDeleteWe are like a blog family. With that in mind do you know where JM (Jose) from Lisbon has disappeared to?
Phantastic scenery, the contrast between the modern chairs and the old house is great!
ReplyDeleteWe have a traditional, historic town square that is still home to the original buildings and courthouse. Love that area. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture Grace, I really like it, have a smashing weekend....
ReplyDeleteThat really speaks to me, G
ReplyDeleteAlways loved that building, the steps are always good for a sit down! Bet I know where you are going this weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice architecture, and I like the way you framed it.
ReplyDeleteI like this picture and this old classical building. In Paris, I have this kind of feeling with the citè universitaire
ReplyDeleteLove this photo.
ReplyDeleteMust be great to sit and enjoy a morning cuppa there.
Wishing you a good weekend
All the best Jan
Several of my favorite places to eat in Paris on top of department stores. They have great views of the city and not bad food.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific view -- wonderful capture, Grace. We have a beautiful old building in downtown Sarasota that was built in the mid 1930's that's somewhat similar. It also used to be a post office. Now, it's owned by the city and administrative offices are housed there…and it's just referred to as the Federal Building.
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrast--the old post office and the very modern restaurant!
ReplyDeleteLovely, stately design just my kind of style, and yes I have several and this is just the sort of place I search for in any new city that I travel through!

What a nice shot Grace, to sit there I would love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! Arianna
ReplyDeleteNot in my city...but a few other places I do!
ReplyDeleteThis pic is a stunner Grace!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Grace, can´t wait to see it again. I like our "little castle" - cause Henry is in front :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful image. I do have lots of places here. Only really had a close look at the new Cathedral and now I'm a fan of it. Sometimes you have to look at bit closer and the rewards are there to be seen.
ReplyDeleteLove the building and the reflections!
ReplyDeleteIt is a splendid looking building! I love what I can see of it.
ReplyDeleteI like this. The light, lines and the person sitting there are all nice to see.
