And the shiny new State Library metro station in Melbourne.

#Train #trains #rail #railways #melbourne
The station entry, near the corner of Swanston & LaTrobe Streets. Indigenous theme on the stained glass windows. The aesthetic is very similar to the other new metro stations, with the red and orange beams. Alternative exit to Melbourne Central station.

Cover of the book Moby Dick; Or, The Whale by Herman Melville. The middle section features a simple but evocative illustration of a white whale, presumably Moby Dick himself. The whale is shown in profile, breaching or swimming at the surface of stylized ocean waters. The illustration shows: The whale's distinctive white body rendered in light coloring against the gray background A spray or spout coming from the whale's blowhole The whale's tail (fluke) visible, suggesting movement Horizontal lines representing the ocean's surface Simple linework giving texture to the whale's body and the water https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/2701/pg2701-images.html

She wears a classic white pinafore dress over a white blouse, with the dress featuring a decorative orange or coral-colored hem with a scalloped pattern. Her expression is calm and pleasant. On the left is a rotund figure in elaborate costume consisting of: An enormous round red or orange hat or headdress that dominates the upper portion A smiling, chubby face with rosy cheeks An orange and yellow striped collar or ruff A flowing orange robe or dress decorated with circular patterns and ornate details The figure has a jovial, almost comical appearance https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/11/pg11-images.html
