Autumn and winter in Melbourne

Melbourne in mid-year; autumn eases into midwinter in these southern latitudes, when bare boughs and a soft, low sunlight create fresh photo opportunities. Beginning in our suburban backyard, this gallery follows my route from the SE suburbs into Flinders Street Station, hub of the suburban train network, then works its way up through the CBD to the Carlton Gardens and the Royal Exhibition Building on the northern edge of the CBD 'grid'. Melbourne's array of street art warrants its own gallery.

Most images were captured with Nikon D300 in RAW format, a few with Samsung mobile phone.
