Melbourne Night Lights
The view up Nicholson Str from Spring Str and the Victorian Parliament, past the Royal Exhibition Building in middle. Not the sharpest or best exposed of photos but I love the unusual vantage point and the slightly surreal effect. We sat there watching planes come into land at Melbourne Airport along the horizon. What a way to end a day that started with a wedding in a hot air balloon.
