Quirky Melbourne

quirky, adjective:
informal terms; strikingly unconventional

quirk'i·ly adv., quirk'i·ness n., quirk'y adj.

The Graffiti decorated Hosier Lane has now became so famous that it is almost a must-see destination which, sadly, causes it to slowly lose its appeal to some of the local street artists, thought it's still pretty cool.




















Some of them are moving elsewhere, leaving their marks in more unusual places, like this one on the Myer department store's wall.



































While the pink pigeons are an endorsed artwork , the snickers aren't - according to the local urban myths, they mark the places in which drugs are bought and sold. If true, then this dealership is pretty cocky, about 20m from town hall and on one of the busiest street corners in town!




















Also next to city hall, an anti-nuclear demonstration with some would-be angels dropping by for a visit. Like so many other things, it seemed more convincing in Berlin...








































Finally, another Melburnian op-shop, which just keep creating the coolest compositions out there and making every photographer's life too easy but delightful...
