Walking about Melbourne in Winter

Last month, we have had a few wonderful winters days. You know those day's where the sun is shining and warm....So I grabbed my camera and walked about taking photographs.


The city's edge, with Nadia:

A mate and I down in North Melbourne's industrial area on a glorious winter's day:





It does rain here.. and this year we had a LOT of rain, but come on, you don't expect me to take me camera out in the wet do you?

Here are a couple of shots I took from inside my car while I was stuck at traffic lights with the rain washing down, blurring the view out of the windscreen. I pointed the camera out across an inner city intersection at a very bright and colourful new building.




After the rain:

Wet footpaths and steamy windows :

  1. by far some of your best. i love the view through the car window. you said of Melbourne 'it does rain here'. that's like saying the desert is hot. i jest of course. we've had more than our fair share of rain this winter. lovely photos. sunny winter days are the best.

    1. :-) Thanks Yevisha!!! I did smile widely at your comment that my stating it rains in Melbourne, is me stating the bleeding obvious. I have spoken to the Lord Mayor, who then spoke to Tourism Victoria, and the result is that you are banned, for life ;-) Only teasing... The Lord mayor has said that you can visit on cold and wet Melbourne days, which gives you a LOT of visiting choices ;-)
