Albury Railway Station

This picture does illustrate the elments of the Italianate style of architecture clearly. As per the article: Key visual components of this style include: low-pitched or flat roof; large eave brackets under the roof; dramatic cornice structures; windows with one or two panes and heavy surrounds; tall, arched windows with hoods or "eyebrows"; paired windows, arched and curved windows; tall first floor windows; square or rectangular towers; cast-iron railings and facades; two or three stories (rarely one story) ...

As a gallery sized image, it shows clearly in Australian_architectural_styles#Victorian_Period_c._1840_-_c._1890 and typifies Australian architecture of the time. It also illustrates clearly a notable landmark of the city of Albury, New South Wales.

It was really when reviewing the Australian architectural styles page, it struck me how clear it was amongst a sea of gallery pictures. I thought it would be informative for me to get some comments about it from others - in part to help me to learn how to take better pictures. This is my first nomination for Featured picture.--A Y Arktos 00:03, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
