🌫️ Melbourne woke up wrapped in fog this morning.

A chilly 3°C at 7:30 AM, with the city skyline disappearing into the mist. Winter mornings like this are cold, quiet, and somehow still beautiful.

Did you experience the fog where you were this morning? 👇

Every time I see this heritage building (on Albert Road), I imagine a story where the owner kept turning down every offer just to preserve it 😄
Not sure if that’s true at all, just my thought while passing by.

If anyone knows the real history, I’d love to hear it. by @this.is_melbourne
