Architecture and Street Art in Prahran

I've got a bit too much time on my hands these days. There's only so much time you can spend "hitting the pavement" when job hunting nowadays. That's to say - not at all really. I'm pretty sure it would be creepy, desperate and inappropriate to go door-to-dooring with a pile of resumes these days in fact - at least in my industry. Online applying is very send-application-and-wait, however, so I've got a fair bit of free time.

I'm quite getting into urban exploration lately. Not that I wasn't always a massive random walker, but these days I'm noticing details more. Especially street art, funky architecture, and signs of decay and the passage of time. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Here are the results of yesterday's little walk around Prahran (and partially Windsor). This is all within easy walking distance of my place, by the way.

Lanes and Arcades of Melbourne

I went for a walk today with the intention of getting some shots of the various little picturesque laneways and arcades around Melbourne. It turned out that most of what I took looked too touristy to bother sharing here. So most of it is the graffiti on Union Lane, as well as a few shots of historic arcades.

It was a beautiful crisp and clear winter's day. These shots obviously don't do this any particular justice, except perhaps for "Old Façade".

Williamstown Walk

I randomly went to Williamstown today. Not really sure what inspired me, it was just one of those "jobseeker limbo" days. Can't really leave town in case I get called in for an interview or something, but I was itching to get out of the house and go somewhere. Somewhere slightly different and where I don't normally go very often.

It was a beautiful crisp and clear winter's day, and here are the results:
