Hey chrome3d. It was a pretty good storm for this part of the world, although I was stuck in my office so didn't get to fully appreciate it. I was itching to get oustide with my camera.
Hehe. Skywhale. I like it.
Thank you, Greg. I think my blog should be called Sky in Melbourne...
Hello Jayne. When was it last used at a rail bridge? I could look it up myself, but I bet you know! I've only lived in Melbourne since 92, so it was definitely before my time....yes, it was. 1987. I had to look it up.
Hey George. Me too! I think the clouds look like a fleece as it's thrown on the table fresh from the sheep's back (showing my farm girl roots there). I'm a little obsessed with clouds. Thank god for my camera phone, because the battery died on my Canon as soon as I clicked the shutter on the first pic!
Hi Deb. Thanks. I'm quite partial to a bridge photo myself.
* It has a lane named after rock band AC/DC and a swimming pool named after a Prime Minister who is believed to have drowned at sea
* Its vibrant multiculturalism
* Royal Botanic Gardens.
* Shady Caroline Street in South Yarra
* The disco balls hanging above Rankins Lane in the city
* The domed reading room of the State Library.
* The eucalyptus trees and old lamps beside the river near Fed Square.
* The huge mural spanning the length of the side wall of Dimmey's discount department store in Green Street Richmond
* The laneways, especially Degraves Street and Centre Place.
* The old terrace houses in the inner suburbs.
* The Royal and Block Arcades.
* The street art (commissioned and otherwise).
* The Victorian architecture, especially the interior of 333 Collins Street, the Olderfleet Building and the Melbourne Safe Deposit Building on Queen Street
* The view of the city at night from the Swan Street Bridge.
* The Windsor end of Chapel Street
* There's always a festival or major event happening.
Must have been some storm then! There is a gloomy shadow up there too. Like a big sky whale behind the clouds.
ReplyDeleteThe sky picture is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI can remember galloping over that bridge in an old red rattler train with the doors wide open on hot Summer days.
ReplyDeleteAir-con old school style ;)
I really like the clouds you captured in that second photo.
ReplyDeleteI love photos of bridges, great photo
