Collins Street is a major street in the centre of Melbourne, Victoria in Australia. The eastern end of Collins Street has been known colloquially as the 'Paris End' since the 1950s due to its numerous heritage buildings, old street trees, high-end shopping boutiques, and as the location for the first sidewalk cafes in the city. Blocks further west centred around Queen Street became the financial heart of Melbourne in the 19th century, the preferred home of major banks and insurance companies, a tradition which continues today with the most prestigious office blocks and skyscrapers found along its length.

I lived in Williamsburg for 5 years and now I live about an hour away. I LOVE taking pictures here because I can always find something new that I haven't seen before. I don't like taking "touristy" shots because anybody can take these so now when I go I look for out of the ordinary angles and textures.
