In North Melbourne

On the corner of Victoria Street and Curzon Street sits Our Community House, a building with simple rectangular windows on both sides. At its very centre is a striking work by Melbourne-based artist Baby Guerrilla: a floating woman, gently suspended in space, holding what appears to be a heart-shaped balloon. I am linking this to…

Tuesday Streetart: Windows in Berlin – 113

You probably know by now that I love sharing photos my kids send me from their adventures. Here are Tim’s phone snaps, hope you enjoy them! Some photos of murals appropriately painted on windows of tall buildings. I am linking this to this week’s Monday Window Challenge.

Window & Mural in Thornbury

This mural was painted by LucyLucy on the wall of Women’s Health in the North in Thornbury. It shows two women and the words Voice, Choice, Power. The message is about women having the power to make their own life choices. I love the vibrant colours that were used. I am linking this to Ludwig’s…

Free Train Weekends in Melbourne

To celebrate the Metro Tunnel opening, public transport is free on weekends (that means trains, trams, buses — all across Victoria) from: 30 Nov 2025 through to 1 February 2026. So Jack and I grabbed the chance. We went down at the Melbourne Central Station and spotted something new. Along the walls are large-scale murals…

Tuesday Streetart: Window Shutters – 111

You probably know by now that I love sharing photos my kids send me from their adventures. This is from Tim and he thought of his mumma and sent me some great shots of murals in window shutters from Berlin. I am also linking this to Monday Window Challenge

Windows & Murals in a School

Passed by St Joseph’s Primary School in Northcote on our way to dinner at a Vietnamese Restaurant. My eyes were caught by the simple B&W line drawing on the brick wall. And then there is the round window and the window of a tiny street library. I am linking these to Monday Window Challenge

Rose Lips Shinsaibashi

Spotted this cute hotel by the Dotonbori River in Osaka. It is called Petit Hotel Rose Lips Shinsaibashi . From the outside it looks like a charming place, but upon my research, all are smoking rooms… so definitely not for me to book. I am linking this to Ludwig’s Monday Window Challenge.

Snippets of Tokyo… in Square

When in Japan, it’s totally normal to walk thousands of steps a day. Today was one of those days … lots of walking, a few train rides, and some city exploring. In the afternoon, we grabbed a taxi to Roppongi Hills to check out the exhibits at the Mori Art Museum. Here’s a square shot…

Windows of an Art Shop

This is Dean’s Art in Preston and I found the window design cute. It wasn’t open yesterday but even the closed sign is nice. I am linking this to Monday Window

Window within a Window

There’s something quietly charming about seeing one old window from the frame of another at the Old Cheese Factory. For Monday Window Challenge

Window’s Reflection

In the window’s reflection, trees sway gently along the street, and buildings stand behind them, soft and still. The glass blends sky, leaves, and walls into one quiet picture. This is my post for this week’s Monday Window Challenge from PR.

Tuesday Streetart: Mural Window – 103

This is such a stunning piece of artwork in Swan Street, Richmond. It is a fantastic collaboration by David Hooke’s (aka Meggs) and one of my favourites, Matt Adnate. I am also linking this to Monday Window Challenge

A window in York

In York, autumn has a way of sneaking onto windows—reds, yellows, and oranges catching the light. Makes even a simple walk become somehow magical. From our roadtrip to York, UK in 2023 for Monday Window

A red window in Se do Porto

The Porto Cathedral (or Sé do Porto in Portuguese) is a Roman Catholic church right in the heart of Porto’s old town. It’s one of the city’s oldest and most important buildings. Inside, there’s a red window — small and easy to miss if you’re not paying attention, but very beautiful if you take a…

Monday Window in Moorooduc

MOOROODUC, VICTORIA A window filled with beautiful glass pieces—perhaps the work of a single artist, or maybe a collaborative class project. Who knows… Bushboy (Brian) is this week’s host of Monday Window

Windows of Skyscrapers

For this week’s Monday Window Challenge, I’m sharing some windows from the skyscrapers in Melbourne’s CBD. The mix of glass and steel against the skyline always catches my eye, especially when the sunlight reflects in unexpected ways. Looking up at these towering buildings gives you a whole new perspective of the city.

Monday Walk in Melbourne CBD

As expected, I did plenty of walking while showing my cousin and cousin-in-law around during their short stay in Melbourne. I’m starting with a walk from their third day here—just in time to join this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, which has the theme “Market.” Walk Our day started with an 11am mass at the St…

Hello from my window to yours

Just us, framed by a charming little window in a red(ish) brick wall… with me and Jack soaking up the sunshine. A quirky find on our wander, and too good not to share!  Hopefully this one doesn’t spook you like my last two posts 😅 If it does, I might just curl up into a…

Paint the town (and windows) red

The Cardrona Hotel is one of New Zealand’s most beloved historic landmarks. With its vintage character, mountain backdrop, and deep roots in local history, it’s a place that captures both the eye and the imagination. Next to it is a red vintage petrol pump, windows of a red phone booth and charming old cottages. I…

A Window In Lisbon

I happened to see this window in Lisbon while I was on a tram ride. I find it charming with its soft blue paint with a metal grill that is full of swirls and patterns—so detailed and pretty. There’s also a cross above, so it’s probably part of a church.

Windows in Porto

This beautiful building, with its white-paned windows and ornate details, is a striking example of old-world charm in Porto. The curved balconies and decorative columns add elegance, while the rows of matching white windows bring symmetry and grace to the facade. Looking closer is a whimsical mural just above the ground floor—and a sculpted face….

Windows in an Arrowtown church

This is the charming St John’s Presbyterian Church in Arrowtown, New Zealand. It’s a small stone church with a peaceful presence, quietly nestled among trees and layers of history. Above its entrance is a beautifully shaped stained glass window that immediately caught my eye. I felt drawn to it, so I wandered down to the…

Books at Livraria Lello

Books open doors to new worlds, ideas, and emotions. They let us travel through time, explore different lives, and understand others better. One of the most beautiful places to enjoy books is Livraria Lello in Porto, Portugal. Opened in 1906, this historic bookstore is famous for its stunning staircase, stained glass ceiling, and magical atmosphere….

Playful Windows

Day Trip to Aoraki/Mount Cook

TRAVEL DIARY: DAY 5 AORAKI/ MOUNT COOK Started the day with coffee and some store-bought bread I’d picked up beforehand—simple, but it did the job. It’s one of those days—drive a bit, hop out to take some photos, walk around, then back in the car. We just followed Google Maps to see what lies ahead….

Night time in Christchurch

TRAVEL DIARY: Day 3: CHRISTCHURCH at Night Nestled in the heart of Christchurch, New Regent Street is a charming pedestrian lane where only the trams can pass. By day, it’s a delight with its beautifully restored buildings in soft pastel hues. But come nightfall, the street transforms—bathed in colourful lights, it becomes even more magical….
