Week 300

A SHORT STROLL ALONG THE YARRA

The images this week come from a short walk along the banks of the Yarra in the vicinity
of the new Melbourne Convention Centre.
 

1. Flinders Street: looking west along the new northern facade of the aquarium towards
one of the new buildings that have arisen at the western end of the street.

2. Walking along the colonnade of the exhibition centre, one reaches this glass wall, part of the new Convention Centre.

3. A harmony of angles makes the new Convention Centre building a photographer's delight.

4. One of the entrances.

5. Polly Woodside is still at her temporary mooring on the river while her permanent
berth at the nearby Maritime Museum is being prepared (to the right, off shot). Note
the Crown Casino tower, and behind it the PriceWaterhouseCoopers building and
the Eureka Tower.

6. The new footbridge across the Yarra with the new Convention Centre beyond.

7.  Angles in alloy.

8. Birds of different feathers!

9. The Eureka Towers bees again, as seen from across the river.

10. Up the underground ramp to Platforms 2 and 3, Flinders Street Station.
