A glimpse of sunshine


This was the only appearance of the sun on Melbourne's coldest day in two years


Taken from Swan Street bridge

Off Centre

The nameless alley off Centre Place in the city. I've posted pics of it before, 
but it's always changing

Tram spotting

A Bumblebee tram (and one of those other ones) near the GPO


Zooming through the Bourke Street mall

Double vision


This photo could be sharper (I'm not carting a tripod around with me everywhere as well!) but I still like it. This is Swan Street Bridge

Remnants




The remains of a foggy morning (taken around 1.00 pm)

The light in winter

Beautiful afternoon light in the Botanic Gardens

On yer bike


One of Melbourne's new bike hire ranks
(I didn't hire one. I'm scared of helmet hair)

A flock of flying saucers?


No, light fittings at the Melbourne Central food court

Solar Equation



Is it the red planet? 


A meteor crashing down on the city?


No, it's Solar Equation, part of the Light in Winter exhibition at Federation Square

Back in Melbourne


The old hotel on the corner of Spencer Street and that new modern building on Flinders Street

Girl in New York: beautiful buildings #2



View across Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir


A closer view of the two towers on the right above


I think this was Fifth Avenue near the Guggenheim


Fifth Avenue again. Ukrainian embassy perhaps?


Behind the Museum of Modern Art

Awesome building on Broadway, no idea what it is


A closer view


The Southern end of Central Park


Forget where this was....maybe Central Park West

Girl in New York: beautiful buildings #1



A section of the McGraw Rotunda at the New York Public Library


The Rose Main Reading Room of the NYPL


Bryant Park Hotel




The Flatiron Building


I think this is City Hall


The Chrysler Building


Close up of the Chrysler Building

Girl in New York: churches



Trinity Church


The shady cemetery beside Trinity Church


The cemetery at St Paul's Chapel, right on the edge of the World Trade Centre site


St Paul's Cathedral, the largest Gothic church in the USA


St Paul's Cathedral again

Girl in New York: gold


The top of Maine Monument near the south entrance to Central Park


Sixth Avenue...maybe


A clock on Fifth Avenue near the Flatiron Building


Some building somewhere...maybe Union Square?


One of two owls atop the doorway to the Brooklyn Public Library


I think this was on Fifth Avenue near the Flatiron Building too




Girl in New York: on the water


A Staten Island Ferry - once just a free commuter ferry from Staten Island to Manhattan, now also a popular free ride for tourists 


On the harbour, taken from the Staten Island Ferry


Manhattan backdrop - also taken from the ferry


Manhattan again, taken from Brooklyn


On my way back from the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island


A tall ship at South Street Seaport (more a museum than a working vessel, I think)
