Capital Trail: Brunswick to Docklands

  

 

View towards Ross Straw Field

It was a beautiful morning. We headed down the Capital Trail, past the Zoo, through wonderful and threatened Royal Park and along the pathway next to Moonee Ponds Creek. First of all, it is but a swamp, like a forgotten wasteland under the concrete flyovers of the freeway. Then, it widens and becomes a small creek. With bridges, drains, industrial landscapes. But today, so beautiful.  A couple of men were fishing. A train stopped at Macauley Station. And I managed to capture a few wonderful sights. Hard to believe it is in the heart of a big city.

Update on Countryman Clothing building: stained glass windows

The back and roof have gone, but this wonderful little building continues to be a gem – just look at the lovely sight that has come about due to the combination of demolition and street art. The midday autumn sun shining through these windows is delightful.

Here is the view from the back of the building. Through the destruction, we can still see the lovely symmetry of the front entrance and side windows.
