Of
Thomas Hahn, Canberra
In Canberras City, the magic of the capital is gone. He was still there on Capital Hill, across Lake Burley Griffin, and not just because the Australian flag always flies high above the hill. But because the whole system stages the pride and humility of the democratic nation. The bright parliament building that nestles into the terrain with monumental simplicity. The wide forecourt looking out across the former Houses of Parliament and the distant Anzac Promenade to Mount Ainslie. Impressive. But now? In downtown?
