My Sunday Photo... Melbourne

I've been watching the Australian Open Tennis Championship in Melbourne during this past week and it's set me off thinking about my time spent living in this amazing city... 
...so I thought I'd pay tribute by posting a picture for my Sunday Photo.
There's such an eclectic mix of architecture within the city that there's sure to be something for everyone.
Happy Australia Day for 26th January.

As usual I'm linking up with My Sunday Photo 
Enjoy your Sunday everyone and thanks for stopping by my place

  1. I love the mix of the old and the new in this shot - it's one of the things I also love about the London skyline.

  2. Melbourne does look like a beautiful city and I love the mixture of architecture. I have family over there but have never been over to visit them (they have been over to the UK though!) - maybe one day I'll get to visit!

    1. It's a fantastic place Louise,
      If I were to make a list of all that was available, then it would be quick a length. It's probably best if you manage to go to see for yourself. I swear you will not be disappointed.

    The city looks gorgeous, reminds me slightly of Barcelona with its eclectic, new and old architecture.

    1. Well I'm not there now Tracey, but thank you anyway.
      I suppose Melbourne is like lots of major cities... with the old and new architecture mixed together.
      I haven't been to Barcelona... yet! It's on my list though.

  9. I love the mixture of architecture it's great when city planners keep the heritage but do not stifle the new. I would love to visit and maybe have a ride on that horse drawn coach #mysundayphoto

    1. They try to keep the heritage as much as possible, but when they have to renew they try to at least keep the facade... the principal front of a building and build behind it.
      I never managed to take a ride in the horse drawn coach whilst I was there (six years) so maybe I need to go back!
      Any excuse eh!

  10. That is such a great shot, I love the old mixed in with the new yet it all works together x

    1. There are old churches, modern office blocks, sports stadiums, a river running through it, shopping malls, trams and horse-drawn carriages all mixed in together, to name but a few.
      It really is a city that has something of interest for everyone!

  11. I do love your pictures Denise - first of all so many are quite artsy and secondly, I get to see places I have never been. I have been to Sydney.

    1. I do try to do the artsy thingy Sandy, whilst also trying to capture something a little different to share with my photographs... so I'm happy you've noticed (hehe)
      I've masses of places that you might like to visit and posts I should have written, but never got to.
      I've always been going to write a blog post about where we lived, so maybe one day you can pack your bags and come along too!

    2. Maybe you should think about a book!!!!!!!

    1. Aww I wish I was there too Wren, although I have sort of been there... because I've been watching the tennis too. I just wish I could manage to get up at 3.00am to see some of the matches, but that's just too much to ask! I'll have to leave you to cheer on for me. Enjoy!
