Degraves Street - Melbourne

Degraves Street in Melbourne, Australia

The lanes and alleys of Melbourne are quite busy as they are full of small Cafe's and bars. I spent quite a bit of time wondering around them with the camera. We also stopped at a one of the cafes for a really good meal. The photographs on this post were taken down Degraves Street which is quite close to the Flinders Street station.  More images after the jump.

Graffiti - Hosier Lane, Melbourne

Hosier Lane, on  the southern end of Melbourne's CBD, is famous for it's street art and graffiti. The graffiti covered walls have become a back drop for fashion and wedding photography as well as being a tourist attraction. The lane is also featured in state sponsored tourism campaigns and other publications. Everything along the lane, including the bins which are shown in one of the images below, is covered in Graffiti. The street art on the walls along Hosier lane is legal. More images inside.

While I was photographing the lane, several groups of tourists and school children were being guided through. A number of other photographers were also wondering along the lane capturing images of whatever caught their eye. Below is a selection of images which I managed to capture over the two hours I spent in the area.
