Thought for the day

Melbourne must be graffiti capital of the world!  This amazing art form is everywhere and we have been wandering the streets and back lanes, seeking it out - which isn't difficult!  Mr Gaucho has taken hundreds of photos of the enormous murals which stretch out along the back walls of so many buildings here.  Some of the alleys are distinctly smelly and dirty but you just have to go for it if you want to find some of the good stuff.

While I certainly admire the ability of the graffiti artist I find the majority of the work to be quite dark and threatening in many ways.  I have tended to photograph some of the more beautiful aspects of the work we have seen.  In this post, though, I thought I would start with some of the more thoughtful graffiti I have seen.

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
