Melbourne is an amazing city to photograph - at any time of the day. The nuances of light and texture are never the same.
These pictures were taken at dawn on a winter morning when the temperature was about five degrees.
The first of the three frames shows the Aquarium, a fairly recent addition to the city, where it is possible to swim with sharks. Probably the highest-profile celebrity to take on that challenge was Formula One driver Ralf Schumacher, before the Melbourne Grand Prix about three years ago.
The second and third pictures were also taken from a little further along the bridge. The second shot is taken while looking across the Yarra from the Aquarium, as the early-morning light formed a shimmering expanse of silver across the river, contrasting with the gray slab of cloud above.
The last of the pictures shows the Aquarium, with part of the skyline in the background, including the famous blue tower called the Rialto, where the viewing deck provides a stunning vista across the city and suburbs.
And while on the subject of Aquariums, why didn't Hollywood think of the simplest title for the film `Finding Nemo', about the adventures of a clownfish - they could have just called it `A Fish Called Wander'.
