A blend of five exposures to catch the movement of the train trails below. Some were passenger trains leaving the city lights behind, traveling to the outer eastern suburbs, some heading into the bright lights of the city for a rowdy Friday night and some were hauling freight, carrying goods to far off destinations.
The moon was just past full and was hiding behind the buildings. I brought it out to play :)
The colour version as promised.

After a lovely day of bargain hunting in antique shops, the lovely Red and I decided to toss a coin as to whether to stay for sunset in Geelong.
Heads was head home, tails was stay.
The coin said heads.
But look at those whispy clouds........
We ignored the coin and stayed
In the end many of the promising clouds had receded toward the horizon, but as night began to fall, the sky dressed up in pink and shimmered. At least in did in our eyes.
There was no alcohol involved in the making of this image....
For you R.S for hanging out with me

The light is waking up, as I am while we set up along the beach before sunrise waiting for the sun to follow us into the day.

Another view of the Corten steel bridge over the Craigieburn Bypass.
May give those who thought it looked like a boat some more context!
The bridge looked quite beautiful with the sun setting behind and lighting up parts of the rusting steel. I discovered this view point alittle late in the evening as the sun had already dipped below the horizon so definitely one to return to to try out a few more images.
Hopefully I will be back on track next week and will catch up with you all then. Hope all you Melbournians survive the cold artic blast that is supposed to arrive this afternoon.

I ventured into the city to explore the south of the Yarra River on Saturday night. I was hoping for a sunset but it never eventuated. Consequently, I was disappointed in all my images from the night. Sigh. I did make some rookie mistakes and underexposed quite a few of my night shots too. I will post a few for my efforts though. ;-)
This is the gorgeous Morell Bridge over the Yarra, looking toward Melbourne town. I do love my city.
"The Morell Bridge is an arch bridge over the Yarra River in South Yarra, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Completed in 1899 by John Monash and J. T. N. Anderson, it is notable as the first bridge in Victoria that was built using reinforced concrete.
Remarkably the bridge was constructed on dry land and once completed the river was diverted to flow underneath it. The main reason the river was diverted was to prevent and alleviate flooding upstream" (the things you learn while researching your images!)
.
The bridge is in its original condition and is quite gorgeous and ornate. Well worth venturing south of the Yarra for.
