A night in the big city

Mrs B and I have decided to take an overnight break in the city. We thought we would grab the opportunity to sneak away before we move into our house next week.
I thought I would show you a couple of pics that I have snapped over the last couple of weeks. I am building a couple of portfolios at the moment, and there is one pic from each folio below. The first one is from my folio called "Skies of Australia". I snapped this somewhere on the way home from the meeting one night


The next is one from a collection I am slowing putting together simply called "Melbourne".




With the "Melbourne" series, I am trying to capture those parts of the city that most visitors would not normally get to see. The picture above struck me as Mrs B and I were driving out of a carpark building. There was an eerie light coming through the barred windows and the archway at the end had light pouring through it by way of a reflection from a glass building across the street.

It wasn't until I downloaded this picture and had a good look over it that I realised that if you look really closely at the bricks on the right hand side of the pic, the pattern formed by the white marks resemble the famous portrait of Sigmund Freud. Weird.

Hope you like these pictures. I will post up some of the others and some new ones as they materialise.

In the meantime.......
