Lamest rock photo evar. You're gonna have to do better than that to keep me out of my warm bed on a night like this!

I was going for the landscape. Context.

(Plus I can't find the folder with close-up shots ...)

It takes the poor buggers a lot of energy to turn gum leaves into something resembling nutrients!

Little boat I went on to peruse the canals of the Gold Coast. Docked just outside Pacific Fair. Remind me to repost this with the boatfan around.

This is the kind of shit I'm talking about.

Not quite my favourite rock type. But still a big

 

[coolian2]

Now this is my kind of rock

VLocity from Traralgon at South Yarra.

 

[coolian2]

I have to say, what I've seen of the South Yarra station looks kinda nice.

 

[coolian2]

Q1. I can't believe how fucking tall this building is, and how great it is to photograph.

Give that pic I posted a few hundred years, and they might have broken down that small

VLocity from Traralgon at South Yarra.

Gawd, don't tell me they can't even spell "velocity" properly.

It's insane! You can see it very prominently on the skyline from my mother's place.

And the fact I can tell you that surely says something.

I don't want to wait that long!

Well, it's a play on V/Line. Never actually checked to see whether anything official includes the slash to make it V/Locity, but it seems it's generally spelt simply as VLocity.

Despite knowing it's in the same league as the Sky Tower, the height only really hit home when I was on the observation deck and I saw a light plane fly by below floor level.

I'll try to dig up some more of those photos tomorrow. Tall buildings or planes, whatever gives me a chance to take photos of stuff from above.

Comengs stabled at Brighton Beach, on the Sandringham line.

 

[coolian2]

I firmly believe I'm going to struggle to ever frame a picture better than this. But I'll keep trying.

 

[Axver]

And here's the trains in my previous photo from the other end of the station. Left is an Alstom-refurbished Comeng, right is an EDI-refurbished Comeng. I prefer the EDIs.

 

[Axver]

Hopefully this will satisfy Ali's picky tastes.

From down lower in the cutting.

 

[coolian2]

I prefer the EDIs.

Agreed.

 

[coolian2]

This hurt my neck.

After my first photographic expedition through Royal Park, I posted a close-up photo of the bit in the centre here. This is a more zoomed out one showing it in a bit of context.

 

[Varitek]

hey all.

 

[Axver]

Vazza!

 

[coolian2]

Hey Vazza

 

[Alisaura]

I don't want to wait that long!

There ya go, Brighton Beach, pre-pebbled (and bloody painful in bare feet). Note famous Beatlesesque Helter-Skelter on Pier.

Sandringham-bound Siemens arriving at Brighton Beach. I like this picture.
