My Choices for This Week Melbourne Walk #2
Last week for PPAC #24, I featured the Eternal Traveller and I as we started walking and shooting down or up (I’m not sure which is right) Hosier Lane. No one got hurt during this shooting spree, so this week we are still there. It was a street of street art.
It was Christmas time, and you never knew who might be watching. So, we were good. And Santa was good to us and brought us this wonderful photo opportunity.
I think this might be a sonogram of my venous system.
This adorable Christmas Minion made us smile back at him. Can you resist that smile? Be honest.
This is the last picture for Melbourne Walk #2. I have no idea who took this picture or how. Are we looking into a mirror a glass door? Did a kindly stranger snap the shot? Were we caught on a surveillance camera? You notice that no matter how much I try to clear it up, the picture has a bit of a reflection quality. I am wearing my best hairdo for the photo. 🙂 Again, the words are a mystery!
Now It’s Your Turn
It’s not too late to join in add your photos to Cee’s PPAC #25, Artful Mailboxes. Remember when we post a theme, you don’t have to follow with that item. No one has as many mailbox pictures as Cee. I think I have one/37,000 + pictures. I would love it if someone from Melbourne posted Hosier Lane pictures because I understand they change, but no one has to post murals just because I did. 🙂
Have a great week and see you back here on Friday. Tomorrow features our new December Story Chat by Cathy Cade. So much fun!

These are lovely murals, Marsha. I particularly like the eye. It’s really well done.

The eye is part of the larger mural on the side of the building. I thought it was a woman. It turns out that it is a boy.

I did. However, it’s because I took those pictures right after Christmas in 2016.

Is that a long trip for you? I loved it and would love to go back, but it’s probably 16 hours of travel or more.

This was a visual and mental exercise. Thank you. It did look as though the photographer were shooting through two doors with middle of photo being where doors meet. How did you get ahold of the photo?

Looks like a great street for street art! I reckon that last photo shows your reflections in a door perhaps?

That’s what I reckon, too. Half of my face is missing, therefore, it can’t be someone else taking the picture. They wouldn’t have left that out. Right?

It’s so lovely to see you visit Melbourne where I live. And lovely you got the chance to meander around Hosier Lane with a fellow blogger. Hosier Lane has some of the most marvelous street art in Melbourne. Sometimes when I make the trip in the city and if I’m lucky, I’ll see some artists in action painting something. You are right about the artwork in Hosier Lane changing quite a bit. Sometimes art you see there today might be painted over the next week. It’s a very popular spot among both locals and visitors alike. Hope you’ve been well, Marsha 🙂

It was almost midnight here. It’s amazing that we can chat with people all around the world in different time zones. And if we happen to be up at the same time – the chatting is almost instantaneous.

Yes, it is awesome. Pakistan is exactly 12 hours ahead in summers to PST. In winters there’s 13 hours difference

I am in Prescott, AZ, so we would remain 12 hours different because we don’t change times like PST.

That’s very progressive of your state. I never got the logic of time change, but perhaps it’s a cultural thing.

AZ is the only state that doesn’t switch. It was a work thing – economics when it first started. Easier to get up and go to work if the sun is up when you leave home.
