I've seen people doing a lot of things in the lanes around where I live in the centre of the Melbourne CBD: chroming, smoking, shooting up, spray painting, stenciling, postering, arguing, peeing, vomiting, eating. There are regularly rubbish trucks collecting, delivery vans delivering, street sweepers cleaning. One night I saw two guys beating someone up; that was scary but we managed to frighten them away.
There are always kitchen hands and waiters from nearby restaurants taking smokoes.
And shoppers taking shortcuts.
This afternoon I looked over my balcony and saw someone doing something intriguing. I am a huge sticky beak so I even took out my binoculars, but I still couldn't work it out. He wasn't hiding, but he was tucked away down the end of a lane off a lane.
When I went down to check it turned out it to be Andy who lives in the building and who is doing an MA in Architecture. He hasn't lived here long and I'd never seen him around before.
His work looked pretty good to me, but then I didn't actually know what I was looking at anyway.
Well observed, WriterBee. And fine pictures, too. But I wouldn't expect anything less from a fine writer. Like you are. xxxx
