Melbourne Central Window

Reflections in a shop window at Melbourne Central Railway station.
Part of the design of the window are columns and arches etched on the glass.
The etching frames the subtle reflections around.
This photo was taken without a flash.
The reflected lights seem to become a part of the design.

Fanciful window
A glimpse of classical worlds
Romantic escape


This version is taken with a flash.
(I know! It seems to be that this is the "no flash" version and the other photo is "the flash"!)

Boom Time

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Dawn light on the hottest day on record in Melbourne.
It reached 46.4 degrees centigrade.
This image is taken in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne on Port Phillip Bay.
(Records began in 1855)
By the close of the day, the whole state of Victoria, Australia seemed on fire.
Strangely, Arthurs Seat National Park (just behind my home) escaped.
There were just a couple of small fires in my area, but not in the park.
I feel blessed.

Glowing sky boom gates
Illusions of fiery seasons
Ominous hushed breath

Burnings boom today
Delusions of grandeur bomb
Cold awakening

Boom and bust cycle
Pale smoky rainbow limbo
Sobering new dusk

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ As evening approached, the sky became a smoky enigma of storm clouds broken by a stray, fragile rainbow
