Monday Mural

You have to seriously embiggen this to see the names of the areas in my state of Victoria that were known to indigenous people. Large town names are shown, as is it seems the birds of local areas. 

Later edit: To see the photo full size as it was posted using a desktop pc, right click on the photo and open it in a new window, a plus symbol should show on the new window and you should be able to see it full size. There will be an equivalent with whatever system you are using. I post all photos at full size, but I think Blogger may reduce the size somewhat. Still, there is great detail to be seen in the photo. 

Sunday Selections

I'm joining with River and others for Sunday Selections. These photos were mostly taken in St Kilda early last year. 

The Esplanade Sunday craft market is a shadow of its former self, but still an interesting stroll. The upper road, with traffic, trams and buses used to be know as the Upper Esplanade and the busy road below, the Lower Esplanade. Now the upper is just the Esplanade and the lower, Jacka Boulevard. Last Monday Mural photo was taken on Jacka Boulevard. The clock tower is rather nice and tells the correct time after not doing so for years, apparently due to a rat infestation. 

Looking over the distant wretched redevelopment of what was the St Kilda Sea Baths.

The wall was where last Monday's mural was painted and is a great attraction for graffiti artists.

The suburb of Williamstown can be seen across the bay, with a public housing tower dominating. 

I thought the new St Kilda pier had been finished and open. Clearly not, but it is now. I gave serious thought to visiting it a couple of days ago, but my will to live relaxed greatly.

This area sees few visitors.

Photo embiggened, this granite thing is rather interesting but I've no idea what it is about. I couldn't see a plaque.

On my old blog I published a photo of a lone piper performing in front of the yacht club, I think for a funeral. 

Looking towards Catani Gardens. 

This one is clear, a war memorial to those who fought and lost their lives in WWII.

I don't know why this photo was sitting with the others, as it was taken in England. No matter. Not a bad idea. 

P&O, Princess Cruises, now a new name I've forgotten. All the same. The company seems to be in a battle with our state government over port fees, with all visits cancelled.
