Lonely fountain in the concrete jungle, Spencer street, Melbourne

 


Solo stroll in the street sometimes gets moody shot after a bowl of ramen!

It has been so cold last few days. It takes 10 minutes to defrost the windscreen.

  1. Fine contrast between the fountain and the crane behind it. It is not really cold if there is still liquid water in your fountain.

    1. Definitely not as cold as the snowing areas. It is just cold for the local standards lol. Thank you for the visit

    2. BTW, my mask post today is one of those reactionary, rightwing ideals not believing in the seriousness of the Covid-19 plague. It has killed over one millions Americans, so why can't they take Covid seriously?

  2. Es muy bonita esa fuente, con esa descomunal grua detrás, que le roba parte del protagonismo.
    Todos los excesos son malos, tu te mueres de frío y yo de excesiva calor.

    1. A fine balance is all we achieve for. I sometimes get tired even just for posting landscape shots only.

  3. A good blurred out background sure does make the fountain stand out. We keep our vehicle well one of them in the garage, the other under sails, the other one in the driveway and son takes that car to work some mornings at 4.15am and haven't heard him say anything about a frost/frozen windscreen, must be where we live here on the Island! Just be careful and don't break your windscreen.

    1. Yeah, geography tends to play a role in weather variation. The other day on twitter I use the word climate incorrectly. I receive a tirade of tweets concerning the difference between weather and climate. Damn I was a day wiser lol. Many classic photographers call the background crane too distracting for their liking. Just wanting to shoot whatever I like :)

    2. Ha! Climate: 'the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.'
      and 'a region with a particular climate.' 'the prevailing trend of public opinion or of another aspect of life'. I looked it up to make sure...so climate is climate :)

  4. This is a great shot because it could have many different stories.

    1. I could think of a haunting story myself. Maybe if I were born a good writer

  5. That fountain looks like it's surrounded by construction.

    1. That part of city has been under the construction for over 20 years. State government is bumping up the employment figure by doing this I believe
