ngIf-else in template

I'm trying to load pictureA or pictureB. My first solution is like this:

 <img *ngIf="my_picture" src="{{my_picture}}" width="180" height="80" >
 <img *ngIf="default_picture && !my_picture" src="{{default_picture}}">

But I would like to use if-else like on API Reference:

<div *ngIf="condition; else elseBlock">...</div>
<ng-template #elseBlock>...</ng-template>

So, I'm trying to do it like this:

 <div *ngIf="my_picture; else elseBlock">
     <img src="{{my_picture}}" >
 </div>
 <ng-template #elseBlock>
      <img src="{{default_picture}}" >
 </ng-template>

But I'm getting a big exception stack trace:

zone.js:388 Unhandled Promise rejection: Template parse errors:
Can't bind to 'ngIfElse' since it isn't a known property of 'div'. ("
        -->

        <div [ERROR ->]*ngIf="my_picture; else elseBlock">
            <img src="{{my_picture}}"): UserComponent@15:13

            <img src="{{my_picture}}" width="180" height="8"): UserComponent@15:8
'ng-template' is not a known element

How can I implement a simple if-else block?

You should be using ng-template

<ng-template #loading>Failed to do something wrong...</ng-template>
<div *ngIf="userObservable;else loading;">
  Aravind is here
</div>
   <button (click)="userObservable = !userObservable">Click to toggle</button>
</div>

ngIf/Else syntax is not available in angular 2 but is available in angular 4

For angular 2, you need to use ngIf two times, and in second time you negate the value being compared (not using the !=, but having ampersand with the value)

<div class="text-center" *ngIf='userName'> Hello {{userName}}, how are you </div> 
<div class="text-center" *ngIf='userName == ""'> Hello, please login to access the app</div>

For angular 4 onwards

<div *ngIf="userName; else showLoginRequestMessage">
  Hello {{userName}}, how are you 
</div> 
<ng-template #showLoginRequestMessage>
 <div class="text-center"> Hello, please login to access the app</div>
</ng-template>

**example 1 ngIf**

   <div *ngIf="condition">..</div>
   <div template="ngIf condition">..</div>

**example 1.i ngIf**
   <ng-template [ngIf]="condition"><div>..</div></ng-template>

**example 2 else block**

   <div *ngIf="condition; else elseBlock">....</div>
   <ng-template #elseBlock>....</ng-template>

**example 3 then and else block** 

   <div *ngIf="condition; then thenBlock else elseBlock"></div>
   <ng-template #thenBlock>......</ng-template>
   <ng-template #elseBlock>......</ng-template>
