MORNING IN THE CITY
Melbourne City in the morning is a vibrant place as it wakes up and the influx of commuters begins. As I am an early bird, getting into work just before 7:00 a.m, I have ample opportunity to enjoy the smell of freshly brewed coffee and warm croissants fromt eh cafés, the hum of traffic and the squawk of seagulls, the feel of the fresh, crisp morning breeze and the wonderful sight of the dawn skies blushing as the sun rises. Here is this Friday morning's beautiful sky, looking East along LaTrobe St, with Melbourne Central shopping Centre in the background, with its distinctive conical glass dome (see here for an interior view), housing the old Shot Tower.

In Toronto, where I grew up, we had those type of streetcars. They actually had a stove in them which was used in the winter time. Good to see them again. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

I love the delicate morning colours in the second shot, with the gulls flying about!
ReplyDeleteSuperb shots, love those colors of the sky.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place for a morning walk.
ReplyDeleteMorning glory! I love your skies. Like you, I am an early riser but my sky view is short because 20 minutes of my commute is underground (subway)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
What a sky to awaken any morning, those images are outstanding...really so welcoming in for any day~
ReplyDeleteI soak up the aromosphere of fresh morning. Thank you, Nick.

I've heard of that time of the morning - just like I've heard there's oxygen in the air, but I've not seen either of them!!! Well, not the morning for a VERY long time! Maybe I could be tempted if I knew it was THAT good!!
ReplyDeletethe colors just really drew me in!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours in those skies. Love the old tram and the contrast to the modern buildings.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Nick! Any time that I am forced to be up and about at that time it seems quite lovely but it's not very often that I see pre-7 am.
ReplyDeleteGreat sky shots.
ReplyDeleteFantastic sky.
ReplyDeleteI think if you work in the city, that's definitely the best time of the day Nick. Glorious early morning skies.
ReplyDeleteVery nice set of pictures - the tram is a classic.

It is nice to be able to walk in the city early in the morning and take gorgeous photos like these.
