We decided to watch the sun set over the ocean. I rarity for us east coast dwellers. Unfortunately it all fizzled out when the sun sunk beneath this body of clouds. In the minutes before this is Tim lining up a shot of beautiful sky line and turtle island.
It’s Roid Week again! This time Fall as the yanks like to call it – but for us in the Southern end of the planet…it’s Spring!! This is my first addition for Roid Week 09 Spring.

I was walking back to the car after dinner on Elizabeth Street and I looked up at something hanging off the wooden telegraph pole. A quick picture, some admiration and I was on my way. Later I twittered the image and a mate sent me a link the junky project.
In the words of special agent junatronic: junky is an enigmatic street art avenger who creates creatures from the debris of society, then resurrects them onto wooden telegraph poles and other forgotten places around the globe, (well around Australia so far). All my work is made entirely from recycled or found objects except the nails, i can never find enough nails. I found that there was a bit of a following for my work here on flickr, so i decided to open an account and upload my documentation of this ongoing project. All hail the mighty junky army, for soon there global invasion will be complete. Piece.
Keep an eye out in Melbourne town, or any where through the east coast for that matter.
