Below are shots of the General Post Office (a.k.a GPO) on the corner of Bourke St and Elisabeth St in the heart of the CBD.

The obvious hurdle intercepting this project from sprinting ahead was coming up with an interesting theme to drive it.

When I looked at the date of my last post I decided I couldn't let it slide to a total of 7 days (which is tomorrow!) so here are a few photos taken during another brunch outing with a good friend.

I really dislike dreary days like this, it makes the days seem stuffy and just that little less lifeless.

First off, a very sincere thank you for your readership and interest in my little posts and images. This blog is extremely young, but I hope you'll stick with me in the future as I archive my tiny escapades and I'll always endeavour to post more exciting and interesting photographs!

Without a doubt, the CBD has an enormous amount to offer, even after 25 years I still haven't explored everything the little alleyways contain!

Something about the stillness of the early hours contains a meditative calmness that's perfect for contemplating and reviewing the day to come. But as much as I love the mornings, it takes all the effort in the world and a substantial amount of coffee to wake me up.

I've always loved monochromatic photos. The monotone colour palette coupled with the sharp contrast between light and shadow often creates some exceptionally engaging visual images.
