First mentioned in 1323, Köpmangatan is the old town's oldest documented street.

This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a monthly challenge called “Freestyle On The Fifth”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each month, and the image is to be posted on the 5th of the month.
This month the theme, “change” was chosen by GG (Greenstone Girl)
Well, what a noticeable change in just a few months!
The photo on the left was taken on the 23rd December 2019 in the Bourke Street Mall when last minute Christmas shopping was in full swing on the Monday before Christmas. It was bedlam as I was pushed and jostled, rather like a salmon going upstream, as I attempted to get to the RACV Club to join my friend for a pre-Christmas dinner in the members’ dining room. There was lots of noise: buskers were performing for the amusement of the passing crowds, children were anxious to see the Myer Christmas windows of May Gibbs’ Gumnut Babies Adventure in the Big City and everyone was jolly, happy and filled with festive cheer as they bought happily away on Christmas Eve, eve.
The photo on the right was taken in the same spot outside the Myer Department Store at lunchtime on the 18th of March, my last day in the city before commencing working from home owing to my high health risk factors of contracting Coronavirus. By that time, Melbourne was starting to resemble a ghost town as more and more people began to work from home after the Coronavirus outbreak, which unbeknownst to Melbournians busily shopping for Christmas, was beginning in China around the 23rd of December. Despite its mid-season sale, the cash registers in Myer were not ringing with sales. In fact, the store was as empty inside as it was out, with only one or two shoppers amid the many shop assistants. The Bourke Street Mall, usually a haven for foot traffic and city skyscraper workers on their lunchbreak, was eerily empty and silent but for the sound of nearly empty trams clattering along the tracks and pigeons cooing as they looked in vain for a discarded sandwich.
An interesting comparison of how much the world had changed in less than three months. Since taking these photos, the Myer Department Store has opted to close its doors in Australia until the Coronavirus Pandemic is over. Then it will re-open and welcome shoppers back as before.
Thank you for your visit and please, positive comments only would be appreciated.

What to do on Boston's Newbury Street? On this day it was to dine outdoors (November being unseasonably warm) and window-shop.

Unedited mobile phone cam shot of Me&Mobie reflected in a window outside the ABC Treehouse in Amsterdam. No editing at all, no tricks, no Photoshop :)
Yesterday I was the 'Artist in Residency' at the 'ABC Treehouse' again and it was fun meeting lots of nice people, taking pictures of each other and exchanging funny witty quips while slurping the complementary coffee and looking at the people walking by the gallery. Mr. T shot a nice group portrait of the two of us and Mr. L took some wicked crazy Fish-eye pictures of me and my wicked reflections hanging on the wall (the reflections, not me!), while the lovely Miss F took pictures of all of that going on, I can't wait for the guys&girls to send them to me, it's nice to get some photos of moi that I didn't take myself :)
I will be at the Treehouse again next Sunday, (below are all the details including a link to Google maps with the address and everything, the exhibition is NOT inside the actual ABC Bookstore in the Spuiplein but on the other side of the square, in the Voetboogstraat!), come and hang out with me, it's fun, it's free and it's good for you!
On October the 4th a new Art exhibition started at the 'ABC Treehouse' in Amsterdam, featuring 10 of my wicked puddle reflections :D

It's now a Grade 11 Listed Building and was built almost 230 years ago, in 1788.

For once, a completely different subject.
Somehow this catched my attention from the first moment on, and this shot dragged me towards it ever and ever again.
Now I just have to publish it.
Please tell me honestly what you think.
Oh, and yeah, I DO know that I am a pervert.
