Sharon tells me my view of Melbourne is consistent in its focus on lonely laneways. I agree with her about the laneway part (there are just so many of them!), but sometimes I do chance upon some people. Here, we have a whole set – the harried businessman striding purposefully towards the car park, the younger man taking a break leaning against the wall, and a group (of long-lost friends?) forming opposite…

Unlike yesterday’s shot, these windows are most definitely there. I really like this building – it’s so reflective and the windows produce interesting distortions. You can’t see many of those here of course, but I liked the contrast in the frame between the very orderly grid on the right, versus the randomness of the clouds on the left. There’s just a slight ghost cloud forming in the reflection on the glass, as though it can’t quite be contained…
