Melbourne Daily Photo

Hello, I created this blog because Melbourne is my city and I want people to see what a beautiful place it is. So come with me on a journey of discovery as we traverse the dining precincts, the culture, the laneways and hidden gems that make Melbourne marvellous.

The Statue

 
Aphrodite washes her hair

Whereabouts is this - Greece? Italy? You could be forgiven for thinking you were somewhere in the warmth of the Mediterranean, with the warm hues and the statue of the goddess with the shapely limbs as she washes her hair..But no, you are not in the Mediterranean, for this photo was taken right here in Melbourne.

This classical artwork is the centrepiece of Milano serviced apartments in the heart of Melbourne's CBD in Franklin Street.

Today's quote: For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it ~ Ivan Panin

Very nice. I don't know how you processed the photograph, but the effect is eye-catching.

I am an Aussie from Cooma NSW, living in Canada on beautiful Vancouver Island off the west coast from Vancouver. We were watching Paul Hogan's movie Charlie and Boots. When they came to the Big Koala, I googled it and I don't quite remember how but that led me to your website. I have been sitting here showing my Canadian husband all the photos and feeling very homesick. Thank you. Vivienne Gibson Green.
