Here are some photos from my recent walks abound Melbourne city and its various suburbs.
Life-size statue in a manicured garden
Photo of a manicured residential garden in which there is a full-size stone statue of a woman in traditional European clothes pouring water out of a bucket.
Reflecting the neighbouring building
Photo looking down at a tall office building with an all-glass exterior. A reflection of the less-tall, neighbouring residential building can be seen in the exterior of the first building.
Australian Ballet fashion capsule for Melbourne Fashion Week 2025
Photo of several high-fashion ballet costumes arranged on mannequins and other display stands in the massive foyer of an office building.
Cafe tables accommodating the slope of the footpath
Photo of two long, outdoor, wood-and-iron cafe tables and their accompanying benches. The tables are placed outside the building where the footpath is sloping downwards towards the street. The legs on one long side of the table are taller than the legs on the other side, resulting in the eating surfaces of the tables being perfectly horizontal.
Statues above the entrance of the Former AMP Building
Photo of the front archway of a 1920s office building with a pink Casterton granite and Sydney freestone facade. Above this entrance are statues of three adults and one child, with all three adults looking down to street level. The Latin phrase “amicus certus in re incerta cernitur” (meaning “a true friend is discovered in times of uncertainty”) is engraved on a plaque below these statues.
Looking through the hallway at the former Commercial Bank of Australia building
Photo of the hallway than runs through the middle of a baroque 1890s building with a Chicago-style facade and fittings.
Schoolboy at a bus stop, as seen through a wooden pallet
Photo taken through the bottom part of a wooden pallet, where the forklift's forks go. Behind the pallet is a wooden, cyan-coloured bus shelter with a single bench. Seated on this bench is a schoolboy, though you can only see his black shows, grey pants, and red-and-grey striped tie dangling between his legs.
No
