Great shot of Flinders Street Station from above. What would the bureaucrats say about your irreverent shot of the ‘Australian research and collections’ though? 🙂 Liked the other shots too, including the water colours photo. Cheers, Stephen.
Hi Stephen, Thank you so much. Had a great vantage point from my hotel. Such a beautiful cityscape- I had fun shooting it. Melbourne is full of great moments and the museum was a favorite. Glad you like the irreverent and ironic “collections” shot. 🙂
Fantastic images Jane!
Thanks so much, Michael. Had fun shooting in Melbourne- glad you enjoyed these.
Love this – really gotta get down there! 😉
Hi Mahree– Thank you very much for you kind words.
Very nice picture — Contemplation. Was it just fortunate circumstance with the person viewing the art work? The color of his clothes, the pattern of the suspenders, the wood floor…. everything works together beautifully.
Hi Ken- Yes. Just a moment I noticed as we toured around. He was as interesting as the art. Thank you very much for your comment. J
Love love love that watercolor! Missing you …. And envious of your journey! Linda
Hi Linda– Thank you, friend. Colors and friendship…perfect together!

Hi April– Thanks so much. Miss you, too. Time is flying by and we will see you soon!
Lots of colorful pictures for this city. The nightfall skyline is very pretty.
Hi Milka, Thank you. Melbourne is very interesting and full of colorful moments. Appreciate your comment, as always!
Very stunning captures, especially the nightfall skyline.
Thank you very much, David. Melbourne is certainly colorful…day and night!
Jane, each one is stunning. Love the colors and your sharp creative eye! I may not comment on your blogs but you can bet I am enjoying Australia as much as you are!
Hi Jeannie and Happy Birthday! Thank you! So nice to hear that you are enjoying my images from down under…whenever the spirit moves you. Hope you are having a wonderful celebration.
Oh, and I hope you’re enjoying the weather. 43 degrees C today? Welcome to the sunburnt country. 🙂
Hi LD- I tried to reply to you from the car on our drive to Victor Harbor but no service… we beat that– it got to 46C on the car thermometer! I do hope it cools on the coast. Now we’re definitely experiencing a sunburnt country… from indoors.
Nightfall, Street Art and Watercolors are my personal favs. Stunning set!
Hi Diane, That’s very kind of you, as always. Thanks so much.
Excellent photo set and perfect with the quotes.
Stefan
Hi Stefan, Thank you very much– glad you like the images. It was fun coming upon those quotes, too.
Thank you for sharing this, Jane! This is probably the closest I’ll get to Melbourne 🙂 I love the streetart and nightfall 🙂
Hi Paula, Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed a small slice of city life… I took a wonderful street art tour which I will post soon. Incredible art work and a big part of the Melbourne experience.
Such an array of color!
Thanks, Wendy! Lots to shoot in Melbourne.
How’s the coffee? 🙂
Hi Lignum- Incredibly good! I am definitely over-caffeinated in your fabulous country. In Melbourne, we especially liked Dukes and Patricia’s. I’m surprised I am sleeping at all. 🙂
Now are you a Sydney person or a Melbourne person Jane? You have captured the feeling of Melbourne. I can never make my mind up which I would live in if I had to choose. I think at the moment I will stay with GC
Hi Pauline, Hmmm, don’t think I will take the bait on that one as I have friends in both places. Honestly, each city has much to offer and we have loved spending time in both. And, you live in a fabulous area, too. How’s that for diplomacy? 🙂 I am glad you enjoyed this set of Melbourne shots– full of colors and interest as I walked around. Thanks so much!
Good reply Jane… 🙂
Super!
Thank you, Alois. Appreciate your comment.
As always, both beautiful and inspiring. Love your work, Jane.
Thank you, Patricia. Very kind and I am happy you enjoyed this set.
Jane, I haven’t had the opportunity to visit Melbourne, and until I do, I’ll happily settle for your beautiful photographs. Stunning shots. Love them all!
Wow!!!!! Love the Contemplation! But all are wonderful.
Beautiful as always. I especially like the night scenes especially of the city full of lights. 🙂
Hi Imelda- Thank you very much– Melbourne is vibrant, especially at night.
Beautiful Jane – I especially liked the first and last!
Hi T- Thanks! I loved shooting the night shots- Melbourne is colorful and the bookend of the watercolors was an unexpected pleasure.
Jane. These are Awesome! Especially love Watercolors.
Hi Lynne, Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them– very interesting city. Watercolors was a happy find.
