Royal Exhibition Building & Carlton Gardens

#summervacay Stepping into the Royal Exhibition Building during summer felt like walking into a vintage postcard. I drifted under the glass dome, which glowed in the sunlight, then stepped out into the sprawling Carlton Gardens. I picnicked on the grass under towering elm trees, the hum of cicadas in the air, and watched families play beside reflective lily ponds. The contrast of classical architecture with relaxed greenery felt refreshingly elegant. #summervacay
