my apologies if the photos and the commentary didn’t line up! I’ve just been looking at this blog in my Google Reader and it’s interpreted the photos in rows of 4 and not 3 so the captions I’ve written will be out of alignment. But if you count 3 across from the left at the top and then in groups of 3 thereafter the captions will make sense.
I went into the city Friday afternoon and just randomly shot photos around our lovely city. I wanted to share them with you here.
Above from the top row:L-R:
A man and his dog. You often see people sitting around the city.
Two horses posing for their photo. We have many horse drawn carriages for visitors to our city.
Another pair getting ready to turn at an intersection
Row Two: L – R
As with any major city we are a multi-cultural place now and sometimes you could wonder where you are exactly.
Our famous Flinders Street Station taken from my car whilst waiting at the lights.
A couple more horses with a carriage.
Third row: L-R
Banners for the forthcoming Moomba Fest which starts 6th March. I’ll be there to take more pics too!
A street artist in profile.
One of our many street cafes which are very popular these days.
Fourth row: L-R
There’s those two horses again – I wonder what the one on the right is saying to the other one?
The Red Circle Tram gives free rides around the circumference of the CBD area.
Peering in the Telstra Exhibition Street buildings – this pair stand there on permanent display.
All images are available at much higher resolution on request.
I went down to Oaklands Junction today to watch the horses being paraded before potential buyers before the Premier Yearling sales open on Sunday 1st March. Christine (daughter) invited me as she knows how much her mum loves using her camera! So I thought I’d share some of the photos here with you. Only some because I took well over 200 and I don’t want to bore you with them all, so this is just a sampling.
From L-R Top row:
Horse being shown to a buyer
Putting it back into the stall
Being led out for a parade
Second row L-R:
My daughter is in the next two, leading horses
A guy having a challenge guiding a horse to where it doesn’t want to go
