In Melbourne Today

[Grumpy John]

A few images from my visit to the CBD today.

#1 Bourke Street busker. This guy wasn't too bad, he was playing Steve Vai/Joe Satriani type stuff and doing it well.


#2 A line outside a restaurant on Collins Street. The establishment's name and the girls' hair had something in common.


#3 Dogman


#4 A 21st century steed at an early 20th century watering trough.


#5 Cow up a tree

A few more.

#1 Rodda Lane


#2 Captain Melville's at the top of the city in Franklin Street. A touch of the old Melbourne jammed in amongst the new.


#3

An impressive collection John with lots of interest. I love the leading lines, colour and contrasting curves and straight lines in #3 of the second post. An outstanding image.

Thanks Alan, I think that is the standout image of the days shoot. However I really like the image of he girl with the blue hair waiting in line outside the Bluebag restaurant, a coincidence perhaps only a photographer would notice.

You wouldn't know the place now Phil. There are still some of the old places, but so much is changing, and rapidly. You might see a scene you like and think "next time I'm in the city I'll get a shot of that", you go back in 6 months and the building has been torn down, or one is being built in front of it.

Just for you Ozzie_Traveller, however he's not in Swanston Street any more, he's been moved to the Block Arcade.
