Icons of Melbourne #15

It seems that when it’s AFL season the whole population of Melbourne goes, at one time or another, to the MCG.

It’s about to be AFL season … and we’ll be joining the rest of the population there at least once. You simply can’t not go.

This is like a church for many people, who come to worship here.

How about we meet on the steps of Flinders St station?

It’s a well-known refrain for locals and visitors alike, as is, ‘how about we meet under the clocks?’.

If you’re in Melbourne and you need a place to meet – this is it.

How about we meet under the clocks?

Tim caught a different view of Flinders St station. You can see it here.

Icons of Melbourne #6

My interpretation of the Bolte Bridge is much more abstract than most of my images.

My camera just wouldn’t focus, but I thought I’d take the shot anyway. Most images of the Bolte Bridge are in sharp focus, so mine is, in a sense, an aberration.

I did manage to get one in focus … I really like the stripes on the water.

My husband Tim has been engaged in a 365 (or is it 366 because of the leap year?) photographic project for almost … well, almost 365 days now.

Tim has invited me to end this project with him, and so I will be uploading an iconic image as I see it: two views of the same icon.

Our perspectives are quite different: I tend to be more literal, where Tim often tends towards the abstract. As in many things, we complement each other.

Below is my take on the Royal Exhibition Building; here is Tim’s.
