Winter in Melbourne can be a somber experience.. enough to send anyone into hibernation. So I just thougt I'd post a few images to keep me sane in the knowledge that warmth can be found just about anywhere.
I love Melbourne!

Melbourne winter warmth. Oxymoron? - D/U beware
Ok so I know it's not quite winter yet but in Melbourne it may as well be! Rain / hail / wind / cold, yep beautiful one day crapy the next.

Beautiful series, I particularly like #1, #3 and #5. The colours and tonal balance in the first image is excellent.

Lovely series, and it's easy to see why people love Melbourne.
#3 does remind me a bit of a Paris street scene. I also like the last one. Well done.  TFF (Trevor)

Thanks for the kind comments everyone!
In #1 I was trying to offset the cold colours in the background with the warm colours in the foreground. I really liked the seperation between the two. And the 'Early Cheer' made me laugh
My grandad painted a number of pictures of Melbourne, one being of Collins St at 5:00pm... just as everyone was crawling home from work. There was a seperation between the forground and the background that really captured the escence of city life and despite my best efforts I've never been able to capture it in a photo. I think I see things differently to him. I'll just stick to flowers and lollies instead! 
Yeah, makes me feel like a kid again. Hmm, mental note: drop by and pick up jar of lollies on way home
Should I remove the light on the left side from pic 3 or leave it in? I'm not sure if it adds or detracts from the scene.
