Photo of the day – Sunset on the new skate park in St.Kilda

After so many years of talks about it, finally the skate park is open for action. Great area, just meters from the sea. The sunset here is amazing, a great spot for few photos.
Peace before the Formula 1 race in Albert Park, Melbourne

Sunday the 17th of March starts the F1 championship and Melbourne is hosting the first race. Good luck to Mark Webber
City of Melbourne – Formula one in Melbourne

It is coming, not too far away. The Formula One circuit is almost ready for the 2013 race. It is a love or hate event. Locals and Greens are not too happy about it. I am personally not able to ride my bike through it, although there are alternatives of course. For sure Melbourne city will be on the TV →
Melbourne Daily Photo – The bay between storms

I waited a bit, I really wanted to take a photo of the Port Melbourne sailing club on sunset, but another storm was approaching. Always take a camera plastic cover !! Lesson learnt

Melbourne Daily Photo – Fishing, another sport in the multicultural Melbourne

Should I start fishing....it really looks like it is getting more and more popular in Melbourne
Melbourne Daily Photo – Sleeping boats at the St.Kilda Sailing Club

It is spring and during the week this sailing club has so many boats in the harbour, resting before the big race on Saturday, another St.Kilda sport event not to be missed
Melbourne Daily Photo – Fishing in Albert Park

It was a cold day but the fisherman was there, at the bottom end of the pier. I went to the fish shop, easier !!
Daily Photo – A weekend in Italy – A lane in Tropea, Calabria

During the football world cup all the lanes of this little village were covered by Italian flags, I loved the impact. Italians are very patriotic.....when football is on
Melbourne Daily Photo – Walking to the AAMI stadium

This is the latest stadium of Melbourne, very futuristic. I love the contrast between the stair lines and the "eggs"
Melbourne Daily Photo – A fisherman in Port Melbourne

Who said that fishing is not an action sport? You just need a long exposure haahha
Melbourne Daily Photo – Riding, riding, riding….another romantic night with my bike in Middle Park

My partner deserved a noir photo, a black and white photo that reminds me a bit of the romantic France, not sure why because I am actually in Middle Park.
Melbourne Daily Photo – Romantic view….with a bicycle, Yarra River

Riding, riding and riding.....what a passion...I thought this time I could give a bit of space to my partner in this Yarra sunset
Australia Daily Photo – A walk in Werribee Gorge, Victoria

It's not too far away from Melbourne, maybe one hour drive, and it is hard to find it....but well worth it, fantastic place for a bush walk
Melbourne Daily Photo – The naughty boy on a skateboard in Melbourne CBD

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.
The MOBILE issue – Cycling around

.....I have seen this old push bike. It remembered me a lot of the bike my old grand father gave me as a gift and I left somewhere in Rome, now of course gone. I wish I had it here, sigh
Melbourne Daily Photo – The city is going to sleep…

6pm on a working day.....this is the time when the shops start shutting down, the offices start closing and the cars start queuing up on the way to home....get a bike if you can and enjoy the freedom party...
Melbourne Daily Photo – Cycling in the night, the blue fountain

Fantastic background color for this photo. When I saw this fountain I had to stop and make a shot, it could not be missed, with a cyclist silhouette in the foreground of course.
The MOBILE issue – Ride your bike

The horse shadow over my bike. I always thought that the bike is a city reincarnation of the horse, powered by human legs. This photo is just what I was looking for. Same statement, just visual. Again, the shot was made with a mobile not far away from Melbourne
The MOBILE issue – Bicycle like horses

Horse were left outside the pub in the far west......bikes are parked outside the cafe' in Melbourne ....love it
Melbourne Daily Photo – An Italian Fussbal player in Docklands

True, the player could have been everywhere, but believe you me, it was in Terra Australis. It's Sunday, it's play time!! Just an unusual photo in this blog, something different.

Lovely swimming pool in Sydney, a Bondi beach icon. What a better place to have a shower!!
Melbourne Daily Photo – Cycling between secular trees in the Fawkner Park

I love this park, I already mentioned that in a previous post. These secular trees are just amazing and the sun shining through the branches adds a bit of fairy tale, isn't it?
