Vanishing, emerging

The vanishing rowers

The emerging sun

Morning, evening

Botanic gardening

I can't keep away from the Botanic Gardens with my camera... 

Saturday sojourn

Distant rain as seen from the top of Lake Mountain, 

the closest alpine resort to Melbourne (click to enlarge)

Lake Mountain and surrounds were ravaged by the devastating 

Black Saturday bushfires in February 2009. So many trees lost...

but there is a strange and eerie beauty to it 

More ghost trees on the road between Lake Mountain and Marysville

 Steavenson Falls near Marysville, one of Victoria's

 tallest waterfalls with a drop of 122 metres

Part of the lower cascade. 

Anyone know the highest waterfall in Victoria? 

My google search was inconclusive

Winter's eve

A foggy walk home tonight

City reflections

An Olympic Park light illuminates the fog

Why is it so?

The trees on the west side of the Southgate footbridge have no leaves...

...but the trees on the east side still have most of theirs?

The light in winter

Beautiful afternoon light in the Botanic Gardens

Out in the country...

...almost. Hoppers Crossing again.

Canopy

This is one of my favourite trees, a huge Golden Elm on the corner of Punt Rd and Alexandra Avenue. It was mentioned in a story in The Age last year on Melbourne's significant trees.

It's nice to see some greenery back on the city streets. This is Bourke Street, taken from Queen Street near my work.

Walkway between the Yarra River and Flinders Street Station

Before the show at Hamer Hall. International Ballet Gala, the interwebs say. I was just passing by.
