  1. 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. 🙂

  3. 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 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.
