Melbourne - Docklands Dragon at daylight and at night
Howdy partners,
Melbourne is getting into yet another heat wave and
without air-conditioning in our rooms it is a bit hard to sleep. So I got up
earlier than intended, skyped with Markus and applied to some more jobs. After
an hour I had enough of it and spent the rest of the morning looking up some
information about Adelaide and Kangaroo Island. I am pretty sure now that I
will fly there in two weeks.
Laura and I had lunch together and after an
afternoon nap we both set out into the incredible heat at 5:30pm to drive to
the Docklands to have a look at this 100 m long and 10 meter high dragon.
It was set up for Chinese New Year on the 31st
of January 2014. I read on the internet about some Chinese music and dance
being set up every evening but there was nothing around. So we walked back into
the city to have a nice last meal together as it is Laura’s last evening in
Melbourne. She will go on a tour tomorrow to Adelaide and from there further
through the outback to Alice Springs. After that she wants to fly to Sydney and
then travel up the East Coast. Hopefully we will stay in contact.
In the evening I walked back to the Docklands Dragon
to take some more pictures of it being illuminated. It looks really impressive
and even the cars stopped and people took quick pictures of it. For 12 AUD you
can go on a platform and have a picture taken with you and the head of the
dragon. Well, I did not do that.
Yours dragon-photographer Stefanie
