This shot was taken at lunchtime, for Brian In Oxford, who wanted to see Melbourne in winter. It was a balmy day, about 15 Celsius after a chilly start, and I was lucky enough to capture some beautiful colour down by the Yarra. There was hardly any cloud and plenty of sunshine. Then I suddenly saw this sight on Sturt Street in South Melbourne. The sun was just in the perfect position to give me part of the city skyline in silhouette. Interestingly enough, because of the configuration of the buildings on the left and their relative heights, it gives the shot a slight fisheye effect.

15 in winter? That's pretty manageable, David. Even at 3 in the afternoon, it's only about 17-18 right now in Oxford....two weeks until summer.
hey David,
thanks for your little note. I just posted something. things are looking up a bit, but I am still struggling. good to know you are there. really.
cheers,
Cecilia
David,
I think I came up with a header that you might approve of with my June 4th post. I've been enjoying both your terribly witty and sometimes terribly corny headers for quite some time.

Hi Brian,
Occasionally the temperatures are around 14-15 with no wind. But this is Melbourne and we can drop 18 Celcius in 15 minutes!
Christmas Day here (height of summer and mid-drought) we had highways closed with ice - and it was 12Celsius, so it was colder than wintry NY the same day!
Cheers
David
Hi Cecilia,
Just thought I'd make sure you were travelling along nicely. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Have faith, have hope - and look forward all the time.
We're always here for you.
Love to the girls
Hope you're smiling
David
Hi Lin,
Loved your header! I posted a couple of comments to say so. What a lively blog too, spanning so many subjects.
I'm glad the headlines have evoked a response! And yes, some are downright corny - it's all about having fun and making people chuckle!
Have blogrolled you, by the way.
Cheers
David

Black, white, blue.... hmmm that's the Gillingham football kit colours!
That must be why I like this one so much.
