Sunday Selections

River and others participate in Sunday Selections. 

Did I mention I visited Barkly Square in Brunswick to see a Gillie and Marc statue? I think so, and its theft was a heinous crime.

This bicycle outside Barkly Square grabbed my attention for obvious reasons.

It is sad, and as far as I know, nothing has been done to Sydney Road to protect cyclists since, while much has been done in other Melbourne inner suburbs.  

I've definitely used this photo before but the restaurant name amuses me greatly.

I think this was once Victoria's treasury building, now the Hellenic (Greek) Museum.

 

Some but not all, as there has been great losses of beautiful historical buildings, have been nicely kept and restored at the western end of Collins Street within the city. 

Err, not this one, that unsympathetically does not blend with the historic streetscape.

And now for something completely different. With the backdrop of a tall building in Footscray, this flower clock in the inner suburb with a huge number of Vietnamese immigrants, is a larger version of what might be found on a wall at their homes. Yes, stereotyping.
