Weekly Photo Challenge-Ornate

~~~~~

My contribution for this week’s challenge…

Ornate

~~~~~

I think ‘ornate’ is in the eye of the beholder.
For example the craftsmanship which has gone into

creating these stain glass windows is something

we would be unlikely to see today,

and yet at the time of creation was probably

not considered outstanding.

This skylight in one of Melbourne’s Arcades is not ornate…
but I think the wrought iron work is.

And immediately below the skylight is what reminds me of…

the Roman Tessellated Pavement in one of

Canterbury’s (U.K.) main streets…from memory.

Back in Melbourne we have the Royal Arcade

with Gog and Magog

keeping visitors aware of time as it passes.

Again I think the seven-foot high effigies are ornate

as is the Victorian Era Arcade,

which has been listed on the

Victorian Heritage Register.
