To Willy and back

I caught the ferry to Williamstown for lunch and a wander around today.

This is Victoria Dock.

Looking back towards the city

HMAS Castlemaine at Williamstown's Gem Pier. It's a maritime museum.

A row of lovely houses on Ann Street

Low tide on a very grey day

The docks again

While I was gone....

Port Macquarie (NSW) marina on a very warm and sticky, but dry, Boxing Day

What's happened...

...to the Alma Doepel? She's berthed at Victoria Harbour in a very neglected state...

Ah, the interbwebs tell me she's being restored.

A rainy Sunday in St Kilda

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)

Girl in New York: Central Park

I've been back home for a week now (already!), but it's taken me a while to get back on top of things and edit my 1,500+ photos for your consumption. Here is the first instalment of many:

A bridge over The Pond

A member of a hip hop crew doing his thing

And another one...

Bow Bridge and row boats on The Lake

More boats on The Lake

A fun run of some sort in the northern end of the park 

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir

Belvedere Castle (a real castle) and Turtle Pond

South Wharf sunset

Near Seafarers Bridge

A little further down river

 

Bolte Bridge in the distance

This is a pedestrian bridge over the Yarra

On the way to airport...

Little blue boat at the marina

Looking back towards town. Farewell grey Port Macquarie.

Into the light

Sail away

Good weather for sailing at St Kilda today
