This area was greener than usual for a January.
Bulla is a town in Victoria, Australia, 23 kilometres (14 mi) north-west of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Hume local government area. Bulla recorded a population of 668 at the 2021 census.
Bulla is located adjacent to the Melbourne metropolitan area. Deep Creek, a tributary of the Maribyrnong River, flows through the township.*
Bulla
Bulla Bridge is a four span bluestone arched bridge over Deep Creek in the town of Bulla, north east of Melbourne. It was constructed in 1869 by McBurnie and Ramsden, for the Shire of Bulla to a design of Scottish-born engineer John C Climie and replaced a timber bridge built in about 1859. The bridge is 126 feet long and comprises four spans each of 27 feet. It is associated with a c.1843 road cutting and early ford which was on the main road to the Victorian gold fields.

Sunshine station in the golden hour, with my favourite local tree highlighted in the foreground.
This image attempts to capture a quintessential piece of modern infrastructure bathed in "golden hour" lighting, and attempting to create an interesting psychogeographic study of how institutional architecture interfaces with natural elements and human scale.
The most striking feature is the interplay between the organic and the constructed - large eucalyptus trees with their characteristic pale, twisted trunks lean into the frame, their leaves catching the warm sunset light. These trees have predated the building, and the architecture has been built around them, creating an unintentional dialogue between natural growth patterns and planned space.
The building itself represents typical contemporary institutional architecture - clean lines, metal and glass, elevated walkways, and security features like fencing and camera, cameras everywhere. There's a subtle tension between accessibility and control - while there's a welcoming pedestrian approach and bike parking visible, there are also clear boundaries marked by gates and fences.
The quality of light is particularly significant to the psychological experience of this space. The low-angle sunlight creates long shadows and gives the typically austere institutional architecture a momentary warmth, softening its edges. This transformation suggests how the same space can evoke different emotional responses depending on temporal conditions.
The curved pathway and the positioning of the trees create a natural leading line that draws people toward the entrance, while simultaneously providing a buffer between the hard architectural elements and the human experience of approaching the building. This design element subtly influences how people move through and relate to the space.
The overall composition considers the modern condition of navigating spaces that attempt to balance institutional functionality, security concerns, and human comfort - a common psychogeographic theme in contemporary urban environments.

Reclaiming the suburbs with art and gardens.
Transformer, created by Louise Paramor, pays homage to its urban surroundings – the historic Union Knitting Mills and the Hoffman Brickworks in Moreland. While suggestive of actual industry the work is playful an mysterious, hinting at a science fiction fantasy. Transformer’s colours are those of energy itself, orange and yellow, evoking the origins of life, as well as heat and potential.The overall skyward thrust of the piece inspires feelings of buoyancy and optimism.

Recent renovations for the removal of level crossings across the suburban rail netwrok see this kind of embellishment. Why? I'm not sure.

Killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Moonee Ponds creek is being radically transformed, [as part of the Westgate tunnel Project] and the Southern Star wheel still lays idle; still.

On my way to an 'opening' on foot. Glad I got off the train when I did and glad I decided to train it across town. Many pictures to come.

The Metro tunnel project is by my recollection running 1 year behind, the current completion date is now 2025. Traffic is being impacted heavily especially in the west. There are many long and ongoing road closures. My cross town drives take an hour now, while one year ago it was 45 minutes to the same destination. The entire western side of the metro rail system is closed impacting on using trains all across the west. Replaced by buses this has a further impact on driving and traffic. As for photo opportunities the fodder is endless and ever changing. So it's swings and roundabouts really.
