Photo Of The Day: Historic & Ornate Red Brick Warehouses in Melbourne, Australia

We’re completely on the other side of the world from yesterday’s picture from France.

Another black and white image for you today — red brick warehouses from the 1880s taken on a day when the sky was completely flat and gray. These are right in the heart of the central business district in Melbourne and are an easy walking distance from the main shopping streets. Look at the architectural detail that went into these historic buildings. What a far cry from today’s plain facades in concrete and metal!
