Most of these were taken in the Docklands, a newer part of Melbourne that reminds us of the Pearl district in Portland. Except it's built along the waterfront, and you can watch sailboats, speedboats, and ships. (And there's no Powells Bookstore). There are great outdoor art sculptures here as well as high-end condos, restaurants, and shops. Lots of rich-looking people walking around in their designer clothes. It was a nice, sunny day and we had fun walking around the area. The top photo is a funky bridge, and the red balloon is just something I spotted near a picnic area where a group was having a party-- it made me smile.
