Little Bourke Street 5 of 7
Bike friendly and tennis mad
One thing I noticed was how bike friendly Melbourne has become. There are bike racks everywhere.
It was the last week of the Australian Tennis Open so I have to say the town was tennis mad too, only to be replaced by football mad soon. It's a very sporty city.
Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull! But there is something of interest in the image. These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today. On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
Great capture, Joan. It has everything: colour, texture and lines.
ReplyDeleteAs far as major cities go, Melbourne is tops in my book.
Thats an eye catcher.
