What guided this image
Landmarks
Australian War Memorial; Australian War Memorial; Captain Cook Memorial Jet; Old Parliament House; Parliament House; Black Mountain; National Carillon; Brindabella Ranges
Viewpoint
Favor a slightly elevated viewpoint from Mount Ainslie, looking south-west down Anzac Parade across Lake Burley Griffin toward Old Parliament House and Parliament House, with Black Mountain to the right and the Brindabella Ranges beyond.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the eucalyptus woodland, the hills, the lakeside parkland, and the overall visual impression.
Guarded against
Avoid making Canberra look like Sydney, Washington, D.C., or a European capital, and avoid Mediterranean or Alpine character.
