Photography with an occasional poem

  • Relaxed

    Melbourne is well known for its street art, and there is a network of alleys covered in murals. As you can tell from the little guy in the yellow box, tourists and visitors are envouraged to photograph the art.

  • Piglets

    Not twelve apostles,
    I counted them all myself.
    So disappointing.

    A few years ago we went on a short tour of eastern Australia and New Zealand. Whilst in Melbourne it was a must to visit the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles.
    Originally called the Sow and Piglets, the name was changed to try and attract more tourists. As there were only ever nine, and now seven, of the stacks and as Australia is a largely secular country that makes little sense to me. So I have entitled this post Piglets.
