Don't Be A Square, Look At This Trellis

I took this photograph at the Munro Street Nursery in Coburg, a suburb in the north of Melbourne. I was walking down the street to my car when I noticed the effect of the strong sunlight. I was doubly intrigued because I had to look carefully to see where the trellis ended and where the shadow began. See what I mean?

Absorber The Greek

When Ari Met Sally

My Greek friends and colleagues tell me that Melbourne has the largest Greek population outside of Greece. About fifteen years ago, there was even a hit Australian comedy TV series with the wonderful name `Acropolis Now'. This shot was taken in richly multicultural Coburg, a colourful suburb in Melbourne's north. Zorba's is a famous landmark here and it certainly stands out with its colour scheme. I took a couple of frames close up and then walked back a couple of hundred yards, to frame the Zorba sign between traffic signs.
