You can just see the lights of the MCG which today played host to the biggest event on the Victorian sporting calendar - the AFL Grand Final.

The Australian Mont de Piete.

This is tucked away in Byron Street, off Swan Street in Richmond (the building is, coincidentally, now a French bakery). I'd seen the bottom writing (under the graffiti), before but not noticed the writing across the top of the building. Mont de piete is a government-controlled pawnshop. Is it just my eyes, or does there appear to be an extra T in 'piete' in the top shot?

Stormy

...and sunny. These clouds didn't drop any rain here, but maybe they did out east.

 Looking out my bedroom window this afternoon.

Old meets new

I love how many different types of old stonework you can see here against the

 backdrop of modern architecture. Little Lonsdale Street looking south.

The old brick wall behind the Section 8 outdoor bar, with the ghosts of what
 used to be. Tattersalls Lane in the city.

An alley in Richmond
