I've been trying to get a nice shot of the Old Parliament House in Canberra for some time now and just can't manage to get a nice evening for a long exposure shot. This time when I got there it was so windy and unbelievably cold. So I froze for an hour trying to do my stuff. The trees are a little blurry because the winds were really strong, so I guess better luck next time.

Old Parliament House opened in 1927 and served as the home of Federal Parliament until 1988. In Canberra’s early years the House was the social, geographic and political heart of the new Australian capital.

Over time, this impressive building became synonymous with some of the country's most important moments including Australia’s declaration of war against Japan in 1941 and the dismissal of Gough Whitlam’s Labor Government in 1975. The significance of Old Parliament House today lies in its historical and social value to the Australian people. The House is a nationally significant ‘museum of itself’ and of Australia’s political heritage—so, as well as being a popular tourist destination, it is also a precious place which needs conservation.
