I had some time before an all-day work offsite along South Wharf, so I took some photos around Seafarers Bridge.
It was a clear, bright, winter morning and the sky was so blue that some of the photos almost look fake!

Photo of several tall buildings with an urban river in the foreground. There is also a Ferris wheel on the other side of the river.
The Polly Woodside as seen from the Seafarers Bridge
Photo of a historic, iron-hulled, three-masted ship (called a barque) permanently berthed on an urban river.
The structure of the Seafarers Bridge almost looks fake against the bright blue sky!
Photo looking up at the white-painted steel arches and support cables that are holding up a bridge. The arches are streaked with dirt from the rain and wind. The photo almost looks fake because of the bright blue sky in the background.

Traffic safety mirror along South Wharf Promenade on the Yarra River
Photo of a large, convex, traffic safety mirror installed on a pole in a blind curve along a cycling and walking path next to an urban river. The photographer has captured his own distorted reflection in this mirror.

Seafarers Bridge spanning the Yarra River
Photo taken on a bright, sunny morning of a concrete, steel, and glass pedestrian and cycling bridge spanning an urban river. This suspension bridge is held up by asymmetrical arches supported by steel cables - all of which are painted white. The bridge deck is made of steel and concrete, and has clear glass balustrades running along its length. A few people are crossing the bridge. There are several tall buildings on the other side of the river from the photographer.
