It you stand on a pedestal ...

Captain Cook .  St Kilda Park, Melbourne.

If you stand on a pedestal, sooner or later this is what will happen to you.

You'd look cranky too.

Paragliders in the sunset

St Kilda Beach Park

There was a cold wind blowing on the St Kilda Beach this evening, a wind that is obviously a fixture as the trees in the park all lean towards the east, away from the beach.
The beach was lovely despite the wind, with paragliders making the most of the conditions, skimming along the water in the setting sun.

St Kilda interior

Red finger-sofa with cushions and cat.

St Kilda, Melbourne's seaside suburb, is an eclectic mix of people and styles typified I think by the bright red finger sofa in my abode here. The sofa owner tells me that while it looks like fun it is  really very uncomfortable.
A local art gallery has said they will pick it up ....but as yet, here it sits.
