Not the Louvre

Adelaide is not known for its avant garde architecture.  This was taken at the back of the Art Gallery on a very wet and miserable day.

Hopefully summer will return tomorrow, but in the meantime we are truly grateful for the rain.

Here's a bit more info on the Gallery.  North Terrace is justly famous for its Victorian Architecture.
