Aussie Pics
As my commute is fairly boring (I will give you some pics though!), I thought I would snap my drive to Melbourne on the weekend.
I forgot my digi cam, so these were taken with my phone. 150kms of this... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0066.jpg Down the Hume Highway - this is classed as the *mad mile* as there used to be a number of accidents, so they put in a Road House to try and break the monotony ... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0069.jpg New bypass just on the outskirts of Melbourne. The Brown actually has purple neons at nite and looks really groovy... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0072.jpg More pretty stuff.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0074.jpg First glimpse of the Melbourne Skyline http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0073.jpg Heading into the city... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0075.jpg Cool Bridge.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0079.jpg Skyline.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0080.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0086.jpg My favorite shopping place - DFO (Direct Factory Outlets).. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0076.jpg More features... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0078.jpg Heading into Docklands, which is the yuppie area... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0081.jpg The view from FB's apartment.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0084.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0085.jpg Heading home, industrial area... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0087.jpg The features from the other direction.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0088.jpg |
How do you find time to, maybe work, drive, take photos and spend time digging up shit about how bad the USA is????
|
Hey buster!!! Wrong duck!! I love the USA, honey
|
That's duck_duck, buster, wrong person.
Nice ducks, these are cool. Can you get landscapes too? What's your house/yard look like? |
What's with the rows of tall things next to the roads? There are blue ones and red ones and one random-ass yellow one.
|
Thats contemporary Melbourne decoration and sound proofing CF. The blue poles have perspex in between for sound proofing when it gets built up out there.
The red poles and random yellow thingie were s'posed to distract us from the fact that we are being *tolled* electronically for driving on that road (citylink). They also just installed these permanent speed cameras along 40kms of the highway. They not only detect your speed as you pass them, they collect that data from all the cameras along that stretch of road, then collate it and figure your average speed. If your average works out above the legal speed limit...you get a fine in the mail. |
