I think you have to click on this picture to get the full photo. It was made using the photo stitch camera option. It is a bit picture to load I think. Sorry if you are a sad ass with dial up. I think it has stitched together very well. The scene is about 120 degrees.
It is a view from our balcony and our living area. R tried to convince me to highrise living when we were in our house. I did not like the idea at all until I saw our present place. I never take our views for granted. It is ever changing and beautiful and looks gorgeous at night with lights everywhere.
Sitting here at the pc, I can watch tv too and also look out the windows and talk to R. Life is good. I deserve it.
Wow...that's a gorgeous outlook....must look great at night too.....post a pic!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could Who Me, but my camera is not up to it.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic, Love melb - would like to chatch up for a coffee next time im down. Yes, you certianly wouldn't get bored of that view :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mercboi. Send me an email. Bring your mum, she looks kewl.
ReplyDeleteI just loooooooove that stitch feature! Cool, innit?
ReplyDeleteFor an old camera Princess, I think it does a good job.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you've said before and I missed it...is there a balcony for coffee drinking with that wonderful view?
ReplyDelete'it is a view from our balcony and our living area'. So the answer is yes, but it is often too windy and not pleasant.
ReplyDeletewow thats a fantastic view Andrew!
ReplyDeleteKeshi.
LOVE IT!!
ReplyDelete'life is good. I deserve it.'
ReplyDeleteRemarks like that when I'm in this mood will get your cameraface ripped off.
I refuse to play nice just because you're 'Pandored'.
ReplyDeleteThanks Keshi and Cazzie.
ReplyDeleteCan curmudgeons be female?
Ask Miss Brownie.
ReplyDeleteThe Housing Commission flats in Williamstown have the best view in Melbourne. How agonising. Yes well maybe the Rialto is better, but rather crass, showing too much. And you have to pay. Meanwhile it's an astonishing fact that these welfare towers have a magnetic attraction, encircled by thick colonies of yuppies. Richmond, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Carlton....it goes on. Why is that? I don't know. But maybe it's the Left Bank syndrome: poverty, a phallic symbol.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Miss Brownie is not.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think they would be excellent views. The only problem when they kick the poor out and sell them off is no balconies. They can be added though.
Miss Brownie called me a curmudgeon and I didn't even know what it meant. I'm still not sure.
ReplyDeleteThe South Melbourne flats have a good view too; thirty floors. I can probably say I've visited every commission block in Melbourne, except Kensington. I did hear Kensington went private, I'm not sure.
I suppose you've been to Williamstown? You can get the ferry from St Kilda, but only in Summer maybe.
Funny, Kensington is the only one I have been in.
