Skyspace
I took this picture of my good wife at "Skyspace" in the National Gallery Canberra. It is located on the southern side of the gallery in the Australian garden. The sun casting its light through the oculus adds a lot of interest to the photograph owing to the shapes formed on the inner chamber's walls.
A description of Skyspace from the National Gallery :
We enter the work via a long sloping walkway. Inside is a large square-based pyramid with soft red ochre interior walls. A stupa made of Victorian basalt rises at the centre, highlighted by turquoise water. The stupa contains the viewing chamber—a simple domed space, open to the sky. A moonstone, set into the centre of the floor, echoes the oculus above.
