Old Melbourne Gaol...

the lighting in Old Melbourne Gaol bristles with the tragic secrets of other years...

foyer colours...

shining yesterdays

feel the warmth of

others' memories

Bayview on the Park...

 Bayview on the Park - inner Melbourne - an older style hotel - enchanting entrance... 

city light bling
some sip the wine of
risque excitement

perfect stillness...

skies over Churchill Island...


perfect stillness
reflecting on the moment
peace and harmony

close couple...

couple looking over Port Phillip Bay from Queenscliff Lighthouse Reserve...
I think the man is wearing the woman's hat,
because he gave it to her when they stood and walked away...

rain, cold wind and a beach...

It's rainy, it's cold and it's windy...
Yet still people walk Dromana beach...
One carries a beach umbrella - to contend with the rain...
But in this scene, the umbrella seems to be useful for prodding some sea grass...
(there's a sliver of red in the folded umbrella)


lure of beach worlds
kaleidoscope of seasons
brews the magic
