Little Lonsdale between Russell and Swanston streets in Melbourne City. One space I don't like in Melbourne City. It's cold grey exteriors of this narrow lane, is emphasised by the modern, bleak, steel and glass structures of the QV. On the other side, the old beautiful facade of the State Library is hidden and lost behind bars, parking, and over shadowed by the oversized residential buildings opposite. It is a shame that half of the State Library is hidden and lost because is it next to a mecca of consumerism in the middle of the city. The grey-ness of the space makes you want to exit and run through space quickly and not want to interact at all.
It's so drab, like some kind of futuristic dystopia. Also, I want those Chinese Cigarettes!
