Canberra city view from Mount Ainslie, Victoria

Even the trees seem to stand in perfect formation here.

The symmetry of the city below was impossible to ignore. From this height, the War Memorial stood as a solemn anchor to the grand avenue stretching toward the lake. It felt as though each tree along Anzac Parade had been planted with purpose, each building positioned to complement another. The lake shimmered like a jewel set amidst an emerald sea of trees. For a moment, I wondered if those who designed this city had imagined how it would look from hereā€”if they had envisioned this exact view while tracing lines on paper. The air carried a faint crispness that hinted at evening's approach, but the sun still bathed everything in soft light. I stayed there longer than I intended, caught between admiration and curiosity for what lay beyond the horizon.
