Southside: less pretty bits

Less pretty...but I like them

A rusty old bath on the decaying verandah of

a Foote Street house

Cobblestones and corrugated iron

Roses and peeling paint

Southside: On the waterfront

Kerford Road pier

A bite?

Near Station Pier, Port Melbourne

Port Melbourne

A cruise ship at Station Pier

Southside: On the street

Beaconsfield Parade

This might have been Dorcas Street, South Melbourne

Albert Park

Albert Park

South Melbourne Town Hall

Opposite the Town Hall. I love the striped verandahs

and the window boxes.

This stretch of Clarendon Street has got to be one of the most

charming streetscapes in Melbourne.

(P.S. to be continued)

Signday (yes, I'm obsessed)

In the old days....no Sunday tram service on Park Street

Not sure if this vintage store is called The Suit Hospital

or if that was a previous tenant.

Albert Park

Also Albert Park

A double decker off Clarendon Street, South Melbourne. I can't make out

the first word of the top sign but then it says "weekly quarterly payments".

The bottom says "dry cleaners". That could have been another sign

 to the left of the window too.

More signs

Off Little Bourke Street near the GPO. I think this sign was for the old Money Order Office.

The former Sir Charles Hotham Hotel, corner Flinders and Spencer Streets

What the?

I spotted these rainbow clouds from the concourse at Southern Cross Station. Google (oh, how I love thee) tells me that it's

 a rare phenomenon called a circumhorizontal arc.

Cloudy

Beams

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Corner of Union Lane and Little Collins Street

Elizabeth Street. I've never noticed this one before. It caught my eye as I was backing up to take the shot below.

Newman's Chocolates? I love the use of the word 'removed' instead of moved and

 that they felt a permanent sign was necessary to tell everyone they've shifted shop.

Low

Look at those weird patchy, low hanging clouds. Taken Friday night after the deluge.

Passing
