Details Of Canberra

Suburban cities can look a little like David Lynch's film, Blue Velvet. Bucolic beauty with an undercurrent of menace. How menacing is Canberra?

Skate park and dam, divergent uses of concrete in similar forms.

Dumped KFC meal. Highway underpass, dark.

Lost shopping cart.

Discarded sunglasses. Hard trim.

Lawn girl.

Around Canberra

Green, low rise cities are naturally lovely. What about the details?

Sun shining where the manmade meets the controlled nature.

Lots of meandering, bucolic paths for walking, biking. And a manhole cover. Canberra is in a dry zone and signs of old bush fires can be found. Charred tree trunk.

Being dry, forget the lawn, lay some gravel and plant a flowering tree. Your place will look like a giant bonsai setting.

Metal ornaments. Stadium lighting stanchion and power line supports.

Spring!
