looking for something firm in a world of chaotic flux

on the road again « Previous | |Next »
July 17, 2007

I'm on the road--to Hobart via Melbourne--this afternoon for a couple of days. It's for work but I will sneak moments to take some photos. Qantas does not fly direct to Hobart from Adelaide so it has to be via Melbourne and hanging out in the Qantas Club.

it is a gritty urban landscape in which we live; one that messes with your head. The bright light fades into a bland greyness that signifies isolation and depression. It's hard to get beyond blue in Melbourne in the winter. It's a place of suffering and despair for many. That is embodied in some of the inner city architecture.
