It's a train station! ......is it?

This was melbourne's oddball Southern Cross Station
this morning,

as I arrived there on the Warrnambool train,
which I boarded at Lara.
["Where's warrnambool?????", you say!]










Daylight enters through panels in the curvaceous roof,
which are cushions,
plastic cushions,
maybe 5o metres long.
















The view out of the station is the end of Bourke Street, Melbourne's central shopping street.
It is almost the ninth month in the sun's solstice,

and you can see the autumnal effect.
Sun losing its brilliance.

Trees ready to turn golden
before losing their leaves.
The winter in Melbourne can be bleak!


ANMUM

"Am here drinking milkfor the baby's brain development.
It's branded ANMUM - high in folate. Choco flavoured but doesn't taste good.

Good night honey, this is last load. Mwah!"
