The photo I am featuring in this post is of Southern Cross Station, a major railway station in the city of Melbourne, which is the capital city of the state of Victoria, Australia.
Southern Cross Station is the terminus for Victoria’s regional rail services and for interstate trains from Sydney in New South Wales and Adelaide, South Australia.
As I was waiting for my train, I saw that during the arrival and departure times of the trains, a calmness descended on the station.
It was that calmness I tried to capture in this photograph.

The photo was shot using Kodak Tri-X 400 film loaded in a Nikon camera.
Continuing from a previous post, Using Expired Film, the following photographs are of some of the historic buildings which are found in the small country town of Camperdown. In an ever-changing world, many small towns use their past history as a means of attracting tourists to their area.
