Melbourne Musings on a Monday

A whimsical edge – for someone who hates edges

Mundane Monday Challenge – look down!
I was in Melbourne on the weekend and while out shopping in the city we walked through some of the grand old arcades. They are beautiful old buildings - well old by Australian standards anyway. This particular one had Christmas trees, decorations and sparkly curtains hanging from the roof which took your eye upwards. But on …
Mundane Monday Challenge – a sad, old house
I passed this sad, old house while out riding my bike the other day, cycled by, then turned around and went back to take a photo. It really appealed to me some reason. It obviously isn't loved anymore but it's still standing (just). The front paddock has just been cut for hay and so it was much …

A while ago I decided to drive to work via the scenic route, as it was a lovely sunny morning at my place. This was the view along the way - I had descended into a completely different world! Needless to say it wasn't quite the view I was expecting. It's not much of a photo …

It is definitely not humid here at the moment but I wish it was!! It's been freezing cold lately, but then I suppose that it is the middle of winter and I can't expect too much! This is a photo of The Water Palace in Jaipur (India). We were lucky enough to visit a few …

Walk this way early birds!
I don't necessarily consider myself an early bird but I do love early morning runs/walks and usually on these outings I see the most amazing colours and light. I try to capture them on my phone so that I can recall the beauty at a later date. My most recent picture is the steps to the beach …
