Melbourne Afternoon 3

2008.04.11
...up the escaltors at the G

...and up...

to come out on the top deck (the crowd are dressed, temporarily, in blue ponchos as part of a special Prostate Cancer Awareness Day)

the Little League players leave the ground

to make way for the big guys and the banner holders, while the umpires loosen up for a Bad Day at the Office

while the crowd steadily builds...

Homeward bound after the game...

An embittered Richmond supporter ponders life's injustices while a couple of kids re-live Collingwood's exploits

...and we'll all be back next week to do it all over again...whatever happens, there's always next week...

... and so we finally reach our destination, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, for the game — but there are no photos of the game itself: I am far too involved to be taking photos!

meiling Great shots! Love particularly the last one –– homeward bound, but we'll be back to fight another day... Thanks for sharing.

Madoc I love the composition of the first shot and the view of the third.
Very beautiful set.
It is so fun to walk on the street with a camera in hands.

redarrow The stars were aligned that day - beautiful warm weather, the Pies playing to their potential and your lensman's eye in fine form.

rolpa #1 is intersting but I like the last four best. Ineresting colour and patterns on the MCG and lovely afternoon light and reflective people after the big footy game. Fave is #9. (They are people on their way from something. Your comment is nice.)

WILDIRIS Great feel of the MCG. The *blue* crowd is fun!
Loved the tranquil feel of the homeward bound crowds in #7 and #9.

Maxine Nice! I like 7, 8 and 9 best because they typify Melbourne - city of parks.
