12 Detail Old Quadrangle

Melbourne, Australia

The old Quadrangle is built in Tudor Gothic style, with Tasmanian freestone sourced from near Hobart.

Sepia is a dark brown-grey color, named after the rich brown pigment derived from the ink sac of the common cuttlefish Sepia.

Contrary to popular belief, sepia toning in traditional photographs is not due to the "aging" of a photograph.
It is a specialized treatment to give the photograph a warmer tone, and to enhance the archival qualities of the photograph.

I get the impression she's seen it all before and is getting slightly bored of holding up the building now... :o)

Fine image, the detail in the stonework pops out nicely on my screen and the facial expression is priceless :)
