Down Under places to visit in

Sydney and Melbourne.

 

It has been around 50 years since my first

and only visit to the Opera House.

  Such a memorable visit and if

you do visit the Sydney Opera House…

 

…you will get a good view of the Harbour Bridge.

When you visit Melbourne the

Victorian National Art Gallery

is situated on Skilda Road,

a short walk from the

Flinders Street Station.   

It is located under the white spire. 

A ten-minute tram ride out to

Saint Kilda Pier is well worth it for

some very nice city skyline views.

If shopping in Bourke Street (CBD)…

 

…why not visit the

Royal Arcade…

…and see Gog and Magog

ring out the hour.

 

The Rod Laver Arena, home to the

Australian Tennis Open,

in January, is literally across

the road from…

…the Melbourne Cricket Ground

where the 1956 Olympics

and the 2006 Commonwealth Games were held.

Regular tours of the MCG and the Sports Museum

are available if you are that way inclined.

London Bridge friends and…

 

…and more friends at

Port of Vancouver

Canada.

From memory, these two students/friends were shooting

a fashion assignment at Melbourne’s

Saint Kilda Pier

 

Half a world away two friends appeared

to be enjoying…

 

…another photo shoot in Canada’s

Stanley Park

Vancouver

This image is definitely a favourite.

Fortunately, or perhaps, unfortunately, visitors

are longer allowed to do this,

so I have been told.

 

There is nothing like a good rural sunset.

No smog, no noise and the sky

awash with colour.

Students at Work

People/portrait photography

is one of my favourite genres.

These two were very friendly and had

a good chat while we drank our coffee.

***

Sadly the advent of the internet has

put many offside when it comes

to having their photo taken.

This young (Tahitian) girl would be in her forties now.

It is her eyes that grab my attention

flattened the water surrounding

A landscape or the result of landscaping?

Many South West Victorian farms have

changed their landscape from one

which grazed sheep and cattle to one

which grows trees and is far less intensive.

A little over 100 years ago this idyllic

French landscape would have appeared

anything but idyllic as Villers Bretonneux

was in the middle of some of the

heaviest fighting of World War I.

As the sun goes down…

…near Geelong.
