[Photo walk] Jim Stynes Bridge

Back on my go-to 40mm lens, I took these photos as I walked along the Jim Stynes Bridge on the Yarra River.

It was a hot, sunny day as I walked to my car after my team’s year-end lunch at the newly-opened 1 Hotel Melbourne.

Outdoor seating still-life

Photo of some metal-and-wood outdoor furniture that almost looks like a still-life painting. The photo shows a tall, narrow, black table with two tall, dark-green chairs arranged on either side of it.

Photo of some metal-and-wood outdoor furniture that almost looks like a still-life painting. The furniture has been placed in the ‘Seafarers Event Space’ outside 1 Hotel Melbourne. This space consists of an outdoor wooden deck constructed around a historic, bare-concrete building. The furniture is a tall, narrow, black table with two tall, dark-green chairs arranged on either side of it.

Ladder and mooring bollard on the Yarra River

Black-and-white photo of a wide, urban river with a bridge running across it. Immediately in front of the photographer, along the near bank of the river, is a sturdy mooring bollard, next to which is a metal ladder leading down to the river level.

Photo of a curved, wood-and-metal, pedestrian and cyclist bridge that runs along the length of an urban river. The walkway and cycle path along the river have been interrupted by a road bridge that spans the river. This pedestrian and cyclist bridge connects these interrupted paths via a curved section that goes below the road bridge.
