Flying visit to Melbourne last weekend - fabulous weather both days! Took the X10 for a walk around, and these are some of the resultant images. BTW, is Melbourne the new photography centre of Australia? The number of people with cameras, tripods, lenses, huge camera bags was astounding. Mind you - there are plenty of photo ops.

1. Movida bike. Movida is a highly fancied restaurant. Although I didn't eat there, I was able to photograph this schmick Harley outside the graffited wall of the place.

2. Meet me at the big coloured thing. Near Fliders St station.

3. Cycling through flowers. QV Centre.

4. Human gargoyle. This bloke was having enormous fun scaring the knickers off all the pre-teens who were gathering at Southbank to catch a glimpse of One Dimensional.

Thanks. I didn't take it square-on because I wanted that important bit of graffiti on the wall behind it to be in shot! 8)

particularly like this one - looks like a location with looks of potential and options. The cyclist dude adds nicely.

Thanks Gerry. :)

The dude was actually a "dudette" and she kept riding back and forth through my shots! Gave me a nice smile & wave each time.

Useful though! 8)
