The 42nd Annual Gimse Global Engagement Photo Contest

Description: This photo, captured from in front of the Dunedin Railway Station, uses two light posts and a vibrant foreground of green hedges, benches, and blue-and-white flowers to frame the imposing Dunedin Law Courts—an excellent example of Scottish-inspired Gothic architecture. The building, a significant work of early 20th-century design, stands as a testament to Dunedin’s rich heritage and its connection to Scotland. In the background, streets leading to the city center, known as “The Octagon,” add a layer of urban context to the historic scene.
