Free The ASIO 5

Came across a political demonstration outside Flinders Station in Melbourne. But of more interest is the search for Wally.


Icy Edifice


Strangely Lit Church

On St Georges Terrace back in July, a light show projected winter designs onto buildings such as this church.


Hamer Hall on St Kilda Road


Flinders Alley


Melb Ourne

A sunlit Collins Street in wintry Melbourne, late on Saturday afternoon.




Aerial Photography

This shot is too drab, but it's tricky drawing out rich colours from this. The light is too murky. 


Blue Clouds

Just minutes before sunset, the colours in the sky and clouds were so rich.


Cloudburst

Flying home to Perth a few weeks ago, I managed to swap my aisle seat with an old dude with a weak bladder who preferred to avoid a window seat. And the view was captivating. At 10,000m altitude over western Victoria, we passed over rain clouds doing their business.

Sunset over Karrinyup

From the upper deck of the car park, looking west.

Lost in IKEA's Warehouse (again)

Reminiscent of Hangar 51 from the Indiana Jones movies.


Downpour Distortion

Taken in the midst of the downpour on Wednesday night.

Another View of the Very Retro Bar

My favourite cocktail from 1806 was a warm one with cognac, dark ale, brown sugar, lemon peel, nutmeg and ginger called Lord Ruthven's Gossip Cup. I'm tempted to mass produce many litres of the stuff. Here is the recipe on their website. Note that Lord Ruthven never existed - he was a fictional vampire predating the publication of Dracula by 80 years.
