February 15, 2008
I'm in Melbourne for a couple of days, staying at the Hilton on the Park. I had some time to do some photography in the latter part of the afternoon. My aim was to explore the city along, and around, Flinders Lane in Melbourne's CBD.
so I wandered from the hotel through the ever so green Fitzroy and Treasury Gardens. It was like returning home, as I had once lived in East Melbourne and I'd spent a lot of time in these Gardens. Melbourne looked so green compared to Adelaide. I took some shots of begonias in the Conservatory in the Fitzroy Gardens, then moved on to look at Ian Macrae's exhibition of Italian photos at the always interesting fortyfivedownstairs gallery in Flinders Lane.

This image was in a laneway just east of AC/DC Lane. I wanted to explore Flinders Lane more thoroughly this time, as it had only been a cursory glance of AC/DC last time.
I even managed to do a bit of the old style documentary street photography:

This was near Campbell Arcade/ Degraves Lane, where I had a quick bite to eat. I then explored more of the city before making my way back to the hotel.

Ah, buskers. That's one thing I really miss about Sydney. Generally they were pretty terrible, but I miss them anyway.
