i am the passenger,
and i ride and i ride,
i ride through the city's backsides,
i see the stars come out of the sky,
yeah the bright and hollow sky,
you know it looks so good tonight.

St Kilda Rd Pilgrimage
Rode across to St Kilda Rd to take some photos the other night. Failed to race the storm home on my single speed. Camera gear stayed moderately dry thanks to one of Stu Crumpler's camera bags. Nice to see an industrial designer who has done good. Thanks to the dudes at the shrine for being good sports.
The eternal flame is in the forecourt of the Shrine. If you look to the right of the flame you will see some blury figures. They were fine about being in the photo provided that I let them see the pic on the camera back.

Is there a story behind the "dudes at the shrine" being good sports? Didn't beat you up and take your camera, or kindly stayed out of shot?
That last shot is fantastic, and I agree with Capital Mum that it looks like a monolithic temple in the middle of nowhere. Excellent stuff.

Excellent photos - What camera are you using?
I work at the Shrine from timr to time.

Marvin,
You probably commented ages ago. Sorry about my tardiness. I use a Pentax Ist DS with either a Sigma 17 to 50mm lens or a Tokina 28 to 105mm lens.
Cheers
