You can tell I don’t have a good blog post ready to go when I post a bunch of pictures. Here’s a few from last week (that you may have seen if you follow me on Twitter). Mer Chri! — This was on Thursday night — by Friday they’d put up the other letters. Below  ... [More]

End of the week pics

Pretty funny: Southern Cross Station has departure signs sponsored by Red Rooster.

Photo library

I think I can understand why the gunzels find this irritating. All media outlets do this kind of thing from time to time — I’m only using an image from the Herald Sun here because they happen this morning to be showing two on the same page. They have a story, say, something about trains,  ... [More]

Officeworks in the rain

I rather liked the pattern made by Officeworks’ corrugated wall combined with today’s rain falling on my car windscreen. Of course, it looked better in real life with the rain drops dripping down.

Funny angle

Everything in the entire world except this bus stop sign is at a funny angle.
