We are definitely a bizarre species!!<br />btw I was so lucky to get any shots at all of the moon last night, it cleared for roughly five minutes and just as quickly it disappeared behind a bank of clouds, I was just there in the right moment, even though as I said, it was a pretty rubbish shot.PerthDailyPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077053209100022305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-57137958811670474982012-05-07T17:49:57.413+10:002012-05-07T17:49:57.413+10:00So many times I walked through Martin Place and I ...So many times I walked through Martin Place and I am sure I did not look up!

Also learned that many arch bridges use the architectual technique of a spandrel, altho those that I recall seeing have no decorative carving...some with graffiti, if one can call that decorative.
