[Photo walk] University of Melbourne, during semester break

I had some time, so I did a quick photo walk in and around the University of Melbourne. This was on a Saturday afternoon during semester break so the campus was pretty empty.

It’s been years since I’ve spent any time on campus so it was nice to be back, if only for a little while.

You can see the reflection of the photographer in the glass partition, though the photographer’s face is obstructed by the text and graphics.
