Democrats Versus Publicans

Inn For The Long Haul

Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHON


Have a look at the photograph above. So you make a snap decision, based on the nature of the beautiful exterior lamp on a period building? Perhaps it's a place of great culture. You know, like a court of law. A place of worship, perhaps. Or a university. Maybe some sort of library. Correct? Nope, never take anything for granted. It's a pub. Yep, that's right, a pub. I took these shots outside the popular English-style pub, the Elephant and Castle, right in the heart of Melbourne. Just shows, make sure you always get the full picture!

Those places are cooler inside. Buddy of mine lives in Wlas and is way into the pub culture. Cool places.

Hi FHB,

Undoubtedly. They are way cool!

I once wrote a teetotallers' guide to the pubs of Alaska ....

There are also some great irish pubs here.

Cheers

Hi Siddharth,

I thought you might like the full shot!

It was a nice contrast of colours, too.

Cheers
