A tram pulls out from the Russell Street stop up the Bourke Street hill, and its disembarked passenger walks off to his destination early on the morning of Christmas Eve.

Meanwhile George Clooney maintains his "simply divine" serenity, advertising Nespresso coffee machines. Which, at many hundreds of dollars per unit, probably lack any greater functionality than my own couple of hundred bucks Sunbeam espresso bar but hey, gotta pay for George somehow. Nonetheless I thought that the stillness of the poster and the tram stop fixtures made a useful counterpoint to the movement of the tram and passenger.
