The big game

The MCG packed to capacity for today's Grand Final - as seen from the Eureka Tower Skydeck

Lit up

Looks like they were testing the lights at AAMI Park again tonight

And....play!

 

The opening night light show at AAMI Park - an Australia v NZ rugby match

(Photo is a bit crap - stupid rain)

AAMI Park again

...under a dramatic sky

From Hoddle Bridge

The city, AAMI Park and the Yarra. That's Morell Bridge to the left (aka "my bridge").

Testing, testing...

Workmen were testing the LCD lights in the shell of the new stadium tonight. It's very close to completion. I'm not a great fan of modern architecture, but I love this stadium.

88 floors up

The Docklands from Eureka Tower. On the right, just beside in from that tall dark building, you can see what remains of the Southern Star Observation Wheel.

The sports and entertainment complex, with the new stadium in the middle of the shot. Today I found out it's called AAMI Park. To the left of that are the MCG and the two tennis centres. I live just over the river from AAMI Park. Not in that big white house. The Governor of Victoria lives there.

Triangles

The new Rectangle Stadium near my house (for soccer and rugby) is nearing completion.

I thought it was gonna rain

But it didn't. Heading into the city this morning.

Balls

The panels are starting to go on the new soccer/rugby stadium
