Random Circuit Walk to Port Melbourne

So I had some free time this afternoon and decided to go for a little walk around my area. Nothing too big I thought - maybe just to the next neighbourhood along, maybe check out some local parks....

Three hours later - I walked right across Albert Park, Port Melbourne, Southbank, South Melbourne, and back home down to St Kilda Road. If you know Melbourne, you'll know that this is a reasonably big walk - and it took longer than it could have, due to faffing around with photography.

Speaking of which - much of this route isn't actually all that exciting photography-wise. Most of the areas are nice enough, but are also just fairly standard run-of-the-mill inner city Melbourne urban scenery. And mostly too flat and leafy to offer impressing sweeping views of anything. This is part of the reason why I ended up taking some macro shots of flowers in the parks along the way - because the wider street scene really didn't offer anything particularly unique.

Anyway, here's a sampling of the walk - in chronological order as I looped around through Albert Park, Port Melbourne, Southbank, South Melbourne, and back home:
