Westgate Bridge, from the shores of Port Melbourne.

I both like this shot and don’t quite like this shot. I like the angle, the way the shot is broken up into 3 or 4 distinct sections. But there’s just something about it that could be much better. Don’t really know what I’m missing.

Goverment House, Melbourne is only open to the Public one day a year. The line to enter last year was too long but this year we managed to visit.

The interior is quite splendid, as you can see here. The Governor was walking the grounds as well.

I took some other shots of a similarly old building — Stonington Mansion — in Melbourne about 18 months ago, if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

The open second floor here really reminded me of when I toured Stonington Mansion a while back. As it happens, some of the items in Stonington Mansion were on loan from Government House, including a one-off Italian leather couch. I forgot to look for any of these items today, though.

The somewhat useless curves of Webb Bridge, Melbourne.

To get this angle, I stuck my arm through one of the many gaps in the bridge. I leaned out as far as I possibly could, and snapped a couple of shots in the vain attempt to get a good angle.

Ironically, this was the first shot I took. Sky’s a little boring and the right-hand side a bit too prominent, but I do like the angle and curves of the bridge quite a bit.

The hood of a vintage Ford at a bridal exhibition. Docklands, Melbourne.

Our photowalk yesterday started outside Telstra Dome (or Colonial Stadium, if you prefer); we happened across a bridal exhibition which didn’t interest any of us, but the interesting cars on display did.

As well as this car, there were stretch Cadillacs, fire engines and stretch Hummers, just to name a few. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a hood ornament such as this — and on a Ford to boot.

Part of the Thai-themed Elephant exhibit at Melbourne Zoo. I don’t understand why the Elephant exhibit is so large compared to some of the other animals. They have, what, four paddocks plus a barn? I know elephants are big but the giraffes, for example, having almost no space in comparison.

This is the juice we were told explicitly not to stir — or else.

Taken when Trav and I walked the city for a solid six hours taking photos. Except for this moment, when we had a break. And the other one, when we had another break.

But other than those, we walked solidly.
