Downtown Sydney. Finally.

Well, it’s been, oh, two months since I took these photos? They were taken long before I went to Melbourne, certainly. But then again, I’ve always had trouble with that whole “time moves forward in a linear fashion” idea that our society is so obsessed with, so maybe this is just my unconscious attempt at [...]
