Hi Diedre. I'm sort of pleased it didn't as I was on my way to the gym and didn't want to get soggy socks like I did the weekend before walking in the rain.
Hey Erin. The cranes are building a new sports stadium, which host soccer and rugby games. It is pretty cool. When it's finished, there will be coloured LCD lights embedded in those soccer-ball-like structures. I can't wait to see it all lit up.
Hi Chrome. Futuristic indeed for a city known for its Victorian architecture.
Did you change the settings in your camera for these shots? Especially the lower of the two. I surely like the combination of settings that you have here. Nice clean colours ... or something.
* 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.
I wish it had! :) great pics
