Meet Me Beneath the Clocks

Hi V ... The clocks at Flinders Street Station have been a popular meeting place for Melburnians for over 100  years.  Postcards were once available with a picture of a clock without hands.  The sender could draw in the desired meeting time and mail it to a friend ... Today it's all done by SMS and Facebook Events.  Cheers J.

    I appreciate that there are steps out in front to sit on. I run around with some very time challenged people!

    Hi J,
    Yes, I'll meet you under the clocks, but you'll have to give me a day or so to get there!
    Ciao,
    V

    Brilliant shot for today Joe, love the blur and movement feel to it, like time is rushing by as fast as all those clocks are ticking!!

    This is the area to discover all sorts of weirdo for my past appointments

    I guess the light in the photo is how I feel when the date has yet turned up to the location!
