Australia 108 and the Eureka Tower

Taken from St Kilda Road, Melbourne.

Melbourne is the skyscraper capital of Australia ( https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/city/melbourne). The increasing verticality of the city is fascinating to me bringing to the fore many questions and concerns while also providing great photographic opportunities.

Stephen Graham's book 'Vertical: The city from satellite to bunkers' is a fascinating exploration of the ways in which the profile of large cities is changing from the horizontal flat plane to the vertical.
Interesting shapes to these buildings.

Yes, they are. @wakelys

The Australia 108 building is visible from all around the CBD.

The Eureka Tower, is the third tallest building in Australia, and was, when it was completed in 2007, the tallest residential building in the world, although it is now fifteenth. It is named for the Eureka Rebellion in Ballarat in 1854, with the gold crown representing the gold rushes of the 1850s, the blue with white stripes the Eureka flag, and the red stripe the blood spilled in the rebellion.

Very interesting. The buildings tower over the cranes! Not sure I would want to live in one that tall though.

Even the cranes are reaching to the sky

wow! That is impressive! Seems like they are competing with each other to scrape the sky

A stunning shot of the towers. I want to take photos, but I'm not sure I want to live in it.

Very interesting buildings! I also like the photo taken of them!

"Verticality"?

The Sky Deck in the Eureka Tower gives stunning views and an impression of what it would be like to live at that height. Periodically, the towers are completely shrouded in mist. @borof

Thankyou. @kork

Scraping the sky is a great description, perhaps more evocative than skyscraper. @ninaganci

Yes, there will be another tower there soon. @jgpittenger

I'm not sure, either. My partner and I have been talking about renting an apartment for a holiday to see what it would be like. @cheeryb
