Pie Face

A small shop in Melbourne where the sign seems to become part of the shop design.
The shop features pies with funny faces.
(Actually, the shop is not so small. It has 15 franchises in Melbourne CBD alone.)

Rhino Tram

A passing tram in Swanston Street, Melbourne.
I loved the signage - unlike the usual advertisements.
Each time I go in to Melbourne, there is always a new collection of colourful trams to photograph!


trams can be weapons
imagine thirty rhinos
a panic stampede

Another Lord

A quirky sign for a small hamburger and chips shop in Swanston Street, Melbourne
The caption about caring puzzles me. Not sure why that would be added.
Caring about good food? Customer service? Anything?

A different lord
