Must Be Noah's Arch

Or Else, It's A Steep Learning Curve

Both these pictures were taken this afternoon, on the pedestrian footbridge across the Yarra that connects the CBD to Southbank. Both were taken with the Pentax K100. The first shot, looking north across the river, shows part of the city's distinctive skyline. The second, looking south, shows the top of the Eureka building. The pictures are proof, too, of Melbourne's quirky weather. I must point out that the second shot was taken about 90 seconds after the first. Yet the first image shows a patchy, mainly grey sky while the second, with the point of focus literally only a few degrees away, shows a brilliant blue sky unsullied by even a trace of cloud.
