Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, Australia

jpphotography (70) in photofeed • 7 years ago

After I had travelled non-stop for 10 months, I decided to interrupt my nomadic travel life for a while and settle in Melbourne for three months to work in door-to-door sales. This was a very interesting experience and has actually taught me a lot about psychology and society.

As you can tell from the many photos I have already posted from this city, I really loved living in Melbourne. In this shot I captured one oft Melbourne's best known landmarks, the Flinders Street railway station. I went there many times, but mostly for the fast free WiFi at neighboring Federation Square.

Camera Gear

The camera I used for these photos is a Sony A37 (APS-C) with a Sony DT 18-135 mm F3,5–5,6 SAM lens.

‘Sitting still’ in a new place is, although in a different way, just as rewarding as traveling itself!

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

Couldn't agree more! To really get to know a place you need to spend some time there.

It’s a beautiful spot. I have been there often but never photographed it .

For me it's the same in Germany. I have lived in my city for almost a year now and yesterday I went out do some photography with a friend and it was hard to find something worth capturing, although there are many beautiful places here as well!

I loved Melbourne! It is different from Sydney, I liked it a little better, but I have only been in Sydney for a week.

Seems like the perfect down-under city for us. Would be a pleasant For 91 days there. That light reflecting back from that skyscraper makes the photo. Beautiful frame!

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

It sure would be! Maybe you could combine it with 91 days in Tasmania? :)

for91days (71) · 7 years ago

That would be rushing in... I feel like Tasmania deserves it's full for 91 days!!!

$0.00

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

That's what I mean, 91 days in Tassie and then 91 days in Melbourne, how about that?
