Ace things about Melbourne
- * Brunswick Street
- * Chapel Street Bazaar.
- * 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.
All of a sudden I realise that I have never visited in summer.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot.
Such intense sun - the shadow is dark dark dark. This is a great shot, the colours are wonderful. Now about the name of the cafe: Brood Box. That's a bit disturbing.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid I lived on a farm and was in charge of the chooks. We had a rooster and every so often one of the hens would become broodie. We would set up a brood box for her and she would collect the eggs that she thought were goers and would happily sit on them until they hatched and hey presto she had her "brood".
I don't think I want to go into that cafe.
The light is so high and strong...another world...too hot for me...
ReplyDeleteHi Matthew. Maybe not such a bad thing?
ReplyDeleteHello Julie. I probably should have come back later in the day when the sun wasn't overhead, but I knew I'd forget! I was just passing on my lunch break.
Totally agree about the name of the cafe. Not appealing at all.
Hi Chrome. Yep, this was taken in the middle of the day when the temperature was in the high 30s. That's too hot for me too.
