WINTER SOLSTICE

Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year.

They had a week of celebrations in Fed Square in Melbourne. We went one night, it was nice.
Lots of dances by different nationalities, pretty cool music and interesting performances.

The music was mostly trancy, which combined with the costumes nearly put me in some sort of hypnosis.

They built this pyramid thing a couple of weeks ago. Kids could decorate lanterns and then they put them up on the structure. For some reason they turned them off most of the time, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Of course it takes two supervisors to watch over a fire.

Nice fire pit. They could have thrown a couple of more logs on it.

Fiiire.. oops, just put me into a trance again..

Loved this woman from the Japanese performance. They did a dance to remember the people who died in the Japan earthquake. Sad.

Good Night! And lets hope summer comes sooon!!

THINGS TO DO IN MELBOURNE-EUREKA TOWER

The last weeks i have been feeling a bit uninspired with my blog. I can barely catch up with everything in my life, even without trying to deal with safari and its several disorders(on my computer my blog only runs on safari).

A while ago we went to the Eureka Tower in Melbourne. I guess it's one of the things to do here, highest building and all and good views and such things, it was quite nice, so i thought i show you some of the pictures.

This is Melbourne.

As you might be able to see, Melbourne is like an island. The CBD has some tallish buildings, but all around it are suburbs, which are basically ugly clusters of little houses.

That's the other side. We got quite a lot of beach here.

Looks like toy buildings.

I like this picture. It expresses my general mood quite well.

Apparently you can also buy nazi paraphernalia in the souvenir shop. People might wanna check certain hate codes before printing merchandise, but hey, not everyone can know those things.
Still, who buys a jumper with the number of storey's of a tourist attraction printed on it. I mean seriously?
