This place is around 900Km north of Melbourne and over 1100Km west of Sydney, far away from everything, in the real desert/outback. But somehow, every couple, everywhere in world, want to have the sunset together, with the orange light creating the love connection.

I was in Mildura few weeks ago, which is around 500Km north of Melbourne. I visited this billabong/lake as I wanted to compared it with my last visit 3 years ago, when drought was on…..well, water is back, at a nice and comfortable level.

I was back in Melbourne Streets and, of course, one of the most interesting subjects is the people around. My attention was grabbed by this guy which was going back and forward with the skateboard and the hoodie. It seemed he did not mix at all with the crowd around.

What an evening I had few days ago. I thought about riding my bike along the Yarra, the main Melbourne river, to look for possible nice venues to take a shot. I had my camera but not the tripod. Well, the light was so amazing that I could not stop myself here and there to make some photos. I am surprised myself that I could do that without tripod, at that time of the day. I used some dead branches instead….not too bad at the end. Happy with that

I have used the highest zoom I had to have the sun and the cargo in this photo. The colours were just screaming. They wanted to be in a photo. Another lovely sunset

At the end the sun came out between the clouds, the perfect time for a photo facing the light. Whenever I need a break I go down to the St.Kilda harbour to breath the sea breeze, smell the sea, watch the sailing boats….suddenly it all takes another dimension.

I just love this building so much. I really want to visit the inside, but more I check more it seems impossible. Any Melburnians out there with connections? ….it was built in 1902, of course a huge success, with other expansions, but unfortunately in 1968, the sluggish economy pushed this big store to close the doors

Driving in the Australian desert I found this old petrol pump in a service station. It was all falling apart, but somehow the meter numbers were still there, ready for next life…….or for modelling in a photo….

I am not sure why but the front of this almost antique car reminds me the face of an old little man, with tired eyes, a small nose and still smiling. Can you see that as well, or am I drinking too much?

Well, this is an astonishing place in Melbourne. I do not usually make photos of interiors, but clearly I should start. This is a jewel of Melbourne. If you live here and you have never visited it, organise a trip for next weekend. Some amazing rooms as the one in the photo. There is a nice cafe’ on the side as well.
