WINTER SOLSTICE IN MELBOURNE
We've had windy and rainy weather last night, and the rain continued to fall this morning. Quite appropriate considering it's Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. There was a cancellation of two trains at my station this morning, but I still managed to get into the City before 7:00 am. It was very crowded on the trains and at the Flinders Street Station, and look at those rows of umbrellas! A very dark and wet Winter morning in the City!

ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that these are morning shots - it is so dark! Summer starts tonight for us. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese are terrific captures, Nick, you surely have caught the feeling of winter! The summer solstice brought sunshine and lovely skies to us here in Seattle! I love it!! Have a great day!! Stay warm and dry!!

Very cool shots! I just love the reflections on that third photo, and the fourth? Awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo colorful for being a dark, wet morning! All things in balance - we had a perfect day here in central Indiana for our summer solstice. We could actually use some of that rain you received.

Great wintery shots Nick. It's been so cold and wet I expect to find penguins on my doorstep.
ReplyDeleterains cause chaos here, not to mentioned flooding, slow-moving traffic...we had a typhoon these past few days and there were road accidents everyday.

It's hard to think about winter for us in the Northern hemisphere right now. I love the way light and water mix. Very nice night shots.
ReplyDeleteThe dark and rain makes for interesting city shots. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteFirst shot reminds me of John Brack's 5pm Collins St.
