a week ago in canberra - 1

A week ago, or right now when I'm writing this, I was in Canberra, doing research. The first day was excellent (thought ultimately a little warm). I got up before 4am, which was mad, and got to the airport around 5:20, which was similarly crazy, and was in the Can by, um, 7:30 I suppose. The National Library, which was where I was ultimately headed for most of the day, doesn't open till 10am which is a bit backward but I coped. I got on the tram and went to Dickson actually and had some breakfast, then went to a very amazing op shop, didn't buy anything, but it was amazing. Anyway the pictures below are from before that time.


I do kind of love the bus stops but really... surely you have more to give than just peculiar bus stops, Canberra. This one is in the Canberra Centre i.e. it's not a bus stop a.t.a.l.l.

I don't hold out much hope for the future of these buildings:



More on this character (the one on the left) later: 

Can neither confirm nor deny:
