Crisp leaves scrape along the windy path. Coffee grind scents the morning air. A dog dressed in tartan trots next to a lady in black.

I’m as comfortable here, walking camera-in-hand, as I’ve been anywhere in the world. Melbourne is cold and exciting. It inspires creative footsteps. It urges me to capture the quirks of its urbanscape; urges me to discover delights around the corner; urges me on with eager legs to fill the canvas of my day.

    I particularly like the shot of the bike with a basket and the fall leaves. Beautiful.

    I love how you’ve managed to make urban Melbourne look so beautiful. I’m from Melbourne and a lot of the photos I see of it show a lot of grunge and not much beauty. You’ve captured both perfectly! Love this.

      Thanks Bek – that means a lot. Nic

    I lived in Melbourne as part of a student exchange and looking at your photos here have really made me ache to go back! The street art in Melbourne amongst the coffee shops that spill out onto the streets are so special.

    I think memories are often of the smallest details. You must have captured a lot of memories in this project.

    I’m currently visiting Melbourne and feel quite similarly in regards to the inspiration that Melbourne ignites within me. I’m also blogging and snapping away with the material the city offers up. I enjoyed looking at your photographs and knowing that there are others like me out there indulging in the same creativity. Thanks

      Hey fellow blogger, thanks for reading. Exciting to see your posts about Japan – I’m planning a trip there in January so I’ll be sure to read your posts!

      1. emiwegierek Avatar

        haha, I wish I put any more but I have no idea whether I’ll go there anytime soon. I hope so, because it could be my favorite place in the world. Where in Japan are you planning to go? x

        I’m thinking of skiing in Hakuba, and going to Tokyo and Kyoto, but there are many more places to add into that itinerary. Researching at the moment, which is fun!

    i have subscribed to your blog, but I don’t get email updates when you post. Is it possible to do this as I never look at my reader?
