The Cool Colours from Down Under

Cool Colours include green, blue, and purple and are usually calming and relaxing… it is the colour of water and of nature.

There’s often a lively debate over whether Melbourne or Sydney is the superior city. I once read a saying that “Melbourne and Sydney are sisters, but Sydney is the pretty one.” As a Melburnian, I can’t help but agree with that sentiment.

But here’s the thing, if you have an appreciation for culture, street art, quaint laneways, and cozy cafes… then Melbourne is IT.

This is for JohnBo’s Lens Artist Photo Challenge for this week with the theme of Cool Colours. Also linking it to Johnbo’s Cellpic Sunday and Debbie’s Six Word Saturday

    Great gallery. But that lass on the beach looks anything but cool – hot and burnished I’d say!

      Haha cool bathers for the lovely tanned lady.

    They both look really cool, tbh. Your photos are awesome, Teresa.

    1. Teresa says:

      Thanks a lot Sofia. Glad you think so.

  5. I suspect I’d be happy in either city, Teresa! Nice submission for the challenge!

    Interesting comparison between the two cities. I loved Sydney when we visited but the more I’ve seen of Melbourne in your posts the more I think I would love it too!

    1. Teresa says:

      I bet you will. Hope you can beat the flight and visit. Thanks Sarah.

    Well Teresa, the good news is we don’t have to choose! We loved both during our visit and your images offer further proof! Beautifully done!!

    1. Teresa says:

      Thanks a lot Tina. It is really a silly competition but I think there always is a silent comparison between the two to outdo each other.

    Such vibrancy! You must be getting excited for spring too

    1. Teresa says:

      A bit, but hayfever season has already come, so I don’t know of I would be happy for spring.
