Art Deco Roof

This used to be the old Art Deco Broadway theatre - c.1928 - at Rosebud.
Now it houses a real estate business on the main street and Vintage Bazaar behind with a main street cafe link.


Outside, all that is left is the unusual roof line



old theatre worlds
cannot sell the homes

Yellow Sign and Reflection

I like how the yellow boats in reflection seem to add a yellow dimension to the yellow sign.
The photo was taken at a Portsea shoe shop.

strange mirages

Petrol Pumps

Old and new petrol pumps live uneasily side by side in this rather isolated country area at Main Ridge

Waiting for summer crowds...

For most schools in Victoria, the summer holidays begin next week.
Dromana beach is waiting.

Bloom Room

Christmas display in a flower shop at Mornington
(Google Awesome automatically added the falling snow when I uploaded this photo to Picasa Web Albums.
I was surprised. But there's no snow in my world.)
The Bloom Room at Mornington is more than a florist.
It combines flowers and gifts and photography - weddings a specialty.

touching the Christmas spirit

Even when it's raining,
even when the camera sneaks a shot through a rain sodden windscreen,
anything yellow seems to glow.
This photo was taken at Red Hill.

filtered with grey rains

Rainbow for the Christmas Season

When a rainbow emerges, somehow the days of cold rain
(when it should be summer warmth)
don't seem to matter.
