Just found this:

The Rialto Hotel on Collins consists of two heritage buildings – the brick Romanesque-style Winfield Building designed by William Pitt and Richard Speight Jr’s Gothic-style Rialto Building. Both split by a preserved classic bluestone cobbled laneway, the buildings were constructed in 1891 and originally housed the Melbourne wool stores and offices.

Aliengrove, was the building in your hotel picture once a prison?
Not that I know of. I-Berg might know more about it as a native of Melbourne?

Apologies if I am stating the obvious, but did you turn the shake reduction off? It can play havoc with long exposures if left on. Not sure if the Kx has horizon correction, but on the K7 i supect this can wreck long exposures too. Also, did you use the timer with mirror lock-up?

anyway when was it taken?
the Merapi Mountain just erupts in java.
It was taken 28th November. We flew just noth of the volcano as the winds were blowing the ash south west, then turned south-east towards northern Australia.

Very poignant shots, I especially like the sepia one, it could have been taken at the time commemorated. These pictures certainly do justice to the tragic events that happened there.

I really like the second one Kris, and it's not obvious it is HDR, in fact i am not sure I would have thought so had I not read that it was. Beautiful colours! A lovely road home! I really miss autumn colours, but not the weather.
