I-berg very generously gave up his Sunday afternoon to take me on a walk around Melbourne with our cameras, a most enjoyable and hopefully quite fruitful outing! Here's a few from the afternoons expedition.

Not sure, there's a whole street here in Melbourne covered in graffiti, including the wheelie bins, that's very interesting.

I do like those two nicely meshed cogs, Jon, and the crochet is delightfully weird, too. Looks like a very fruitful walk round.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Melbourne looks very interesting. It's pity we were not invited to the meet. Valve looks like an entry the fortnightly competition.

Eye catching stuff, well photographed. Wish I'd been there as well.

I think 'Valve' for me as well, although I love the woolly caterpillar in the second shot. Clearly the must-have accessory for all self-respecting pipes... very cool

Whoops!

It was a great day out, I-berg is a great guide! I hope he's going to post some of his shots too. I would not have found any of this stuff without his expert guidance!

And of course we know what those pipes can really be like!

Open offer to those that may be tempted to travel around to the other side of Planet Earth.

Happy to show you around here - it's a place I'm proud to showcase.
