A few more Melbourne Cafes :: October 2009
Melbourne has so many little side streets in it’s central area. Some of these side streets are just cafe after cafe after cafe. Here’s eight of them!
Degraves Espresso
Melbourne has a fantastic array of coffee shops and cafes - too many to mention. However, here’s one of the more well known ones based in downtown not far from Flinder’s Street Station.
The Yarra River in central Melbourne
Following on my usual theme of night time blues, here’s a picture from central Melbourne of the Yarra River.
Flinder’s Street and Traffic Light :: Melbourne October 2009
Another one of Flinder’s Street Station. This time with a traffic light. It’s kind of similar to my image from KL of the Petronas Towers.
Purple ladder to ∞ :: National Gallery of Victoria :: Melbourne
Taken in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne. For more information see yesterday’s blog.
Green Ladder to ∞ :: National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne
This is actually a very cool optical illusion. The ladder is about 2-3 metres long from floor to ceiling, but has a large mirrors on each end facing each other and giving a very cool effect of running off to infinity! See tomorrow for the purple version!
Orange umbrellas at Federation Square :: Melbourne October 2009
Federation Square takes in much of what could be described as central Melbourne. Of course, it’s also another place to grab a coffee under an umbrella!!
Sunny spring days and the tram in Melbourne :: October 2009
More transport options in Melbourne. This picture of one of the local trams was taken close to Flinders Street Station in downtown Melbourne.
Afternoon sunshine outside Flinders Street Station :: Melbourne October 2009
Another view of Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, Australia. I love the flair just working it’s way across this image.
This is Melbourne :: October 2009
Melbourne is not the most obvious of places when it comes to tourism and sight seeing. In fact I had no idea what I would see when I arrived there last month. Sydney was obvious and easy. The first sight I was informed about was the main railway station in the centre of town - [...]
Melbourne Coffee
It’s time for a bit of Melbourne. My 10 day trip to Australia now heads a couple hours flight south to Melbourne where they seem much more obsessed about good food, eating out and a good coffee. No shortage of places to get a latte here and with so many establishments it makes the quality [...]
Colgate and Palmolive III :: East Balmain, Sydney
My final image of the apartment building which was formally a factory for Colgate and Palmolive. Lovely building and a lovely sky!
Colgate and Palmolive II :: East Balmain, Sydney
Second in a series of three images featuring the Colgate and Palmolive apartment conversion in East Balmain, Sydney. See yesterday and tomorrow for the other two images.
Colgate and Palmolive I :: East Balmain, Sydney
East Balmain is a residential suburb in Sydney which via the ferry system is very close to everything. I was staying in a B&B just around the corner from this interesting development. I took a series of three images on the way home from taking pictures of the Sydney City Skyline and Harbour Bridge.
Circular Quay Sydney :: October 2009
Sydney, on average, has about 23 days where the weather is wet, cloudy and generally unpleasant. I was lucky enough to experience 4 of these 23 days in October this year. However, one good thing comes from all those clouds… and that’s the amazing saturation of all the colours which you don’t see on a [...]
Watson’s Bay Area :: Sydney October 2009
Around the Watson’s Bay Area of Sydney. This is an area of natural beauty with beautiful walks along the coastline and stunning views of the ocean and cliffs. The view of Sydney from Watson’s Bay is the other way and you can view it here: Sydney from Watson’s Bays
More from Bondi Beach
Surfing, this time against the back drop of the waves and the local houses. I never thought it would look so Italian here!!
Clouds over Sydney
Taken from Watson’s Bay and looking towards Sydney, Austalia. The cloud formation was fabulous!
Bonbi Beach Life Guard
Racing with the waves are the Bondi Beach Life Guard :: Sydney, Australia, October 2009.
More Waves from Bondi Beach :: Sydney October 2009
Big waves breaking near Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia.
Waves at Bondi Beach :: Sydney Australia, October 2009
The turquoise blue waves against a stormy background look great to me! But it’s not quite the Bondi Beach I had in mind!!
Sydney Subway
After taking the Martin Place subway image, I got a little interested in taking other subway photographs in Sydney. A few follow. Extra points to anyone who notices something not quite right with this pictures, but what makes a big difference to it’s impact on the viewer.
