Wet and wild


This is the view on the tarmac at Adelaide airport., wet wet. The view over Adelaide as we flew out. Grafitti from the train on the way down to Beaumaris, well the Cheltenhan railway station on the way down to see the family.
Today we went to see the Vienna exhibition at the art gallery, having an adventure on the way as we were bussed from Moorabbin to Cheltenham railway stations, waiting for ages and going miles out of our way. We finally made it into Flinders st and after seeing the exhibition had a bit to eat here at the little Austrian Kaffehaus they had set up in a corner of the art gallery, not so crowded as the more well known places. We then had a lovely time exploring other galleries but I must say I loved the Klimt's, to see them up close was the best.
Oh and I did enjoy these figures from the Pacific gallery.
Made it back on public transport safely, but rather damp around the edges, as more wind and rain in the late afternoon.

i see you arrived in typical Melbourne weather...we always used to say if you did not like the weather wait a minute...

The Melbourne Gallery is a wonderful place, and I am with you I love the klimts too.

The graffiti people seem to like to deface buildings along railway lines..I wonder why.

The grafitti adds great interest to an otherwise dull wall.

I like the primitive figures too. Such a pity you had soggy weather.
