Landmarks included in the time lapse video include (in order):
- Southbank - modern part of Melbourne where the casino is located. Lydia and I will occasionally go here for over-priced beer
- Bourke Street sculpture art - An example of one of the many art installments located around Melbourne, this one is at the corner of Swanston and Bourke streets. I see these every time I walk/tram from my gym to work
- Degraves Street - Lydia and I will occassionally go here for brunch, if we don't want to make the trip down to St. Kilda to our favorite hipster/organic brunch place
- Fed Square - modern architecture located in the heart of Melbourne, where a number of temporary art exhibits and cultural events are held.
- Southern Cross Station - Located on the west side of the city, this is now the largest train station in Melbourne, where all interstate passenger lines lead. I pass this station on the way to work every day and our good friends immediately opposite
- Sydney Meyer Amphitheater - outdoor amphitheater where a large number of concerts are held. Lydia and I will be seeing Weezer here in January
- Docklands Ferris Wheel - Ferris wheel that was built a number of years ago in the real estate investment failure that is known as the Docklands. Almost as an omen, this ferris wheel opened nearly two years behind schedule, and promptly closed 40 days later due to structural defects. The Ferris Wheel has since been disassembled and reassembled, and is expected to return to service sometime in 2013.
- Graffiti Art - Found all around Melbourne, primarily in back alleyways, it's a characteristic that really defines the city. It's most definitely a form of art (rather than tagging).
- Fed Square (different angle) - View of Fed Square looking South, we often go to Beer Deluxe, a beer garden just out of the shot.
- State Library of Victoria - Located at LaTrobe and Swanston, the State Library is an extensive traditional and electronic library open to the public. On sunny days, crowds can be found relaxing on the front lawn
- Train tracks looking South West - not far from our apartment, these tracks run parallel to the Yarra River
- Metro - View from the metro, the electric train system that runs both under and primarily over ground in Melbourne and the greater Melbourne suburbs.
- Tram - View looking out the back of one of the omnipresent trams found all around greater Melbourne. Lydia and I often take a tram to and from work.
- Flinders Street Station - the iconic station of Melbourne
- Melbourne Central Mall/Station - view from within Melbourne Central station and shopping plaza, it is a paradigm of Melbourne architecture in that it preserves the facade and spirit of old architecture and integrates it with functional and modern space
- Shopping Arcade - can't remember the name of this one, but it's one of several shopping arcades found within the CBD of Melbourne.
- China Town (Little Collins Street) - The majority of Little Collins Street, which runs SW to NE, is known as China town. We'll often grab "dumprings" at one of the many dumpling bars off this street
- Unknown
- Unknown
- Deakin University - Deakin University, from where the photographer(s) hail, located in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. We've never been here
- Fitzroy Gardens (two shots) - the large park located adjacent to our apartment in East Melbourne, this is where Lydia and I go nearly every weekend to relax, hang our hammock, and watch the sunset.
- Phillip Bay Boat Launch - This could be any one of many of the rusted boat launches on the coast of the relatively shallow Phillip Bay, but my bet is it's the one down in St. Kilda, not far from the Melbourne CBD. Lydia and I SCUBA dive under one of these further down Mornington Peninsula (Eastern peninsula)
- St Kilda Pier - Large pier that juts out into the bay where many sail boats are moored
- Docklands waterfront - about a five minute walk from my office, I'll occasionally eat lunch not far from where this shot was taken
- Art Centre - the iconic (although dated) Melbourne Arts Centre located on South Bank, it's spire is lit at night and can be seen from most places around the city.
- Fountain in the Royal Botanical Gardens - I've used this fountain in a number of photography outings, it's located in the Royal Botanical Gardens in South Melbourne
- Melbourne Central (outside) - view of one of the creatively lit park bench outside Melbourne Central. There's a hotdog/burger place called "Lord of the Flies" just out of the shot where Lydia and I have frequented on a number of occasions
- Flinders St Pedestrian Tunnel - Pedestrian tunnel modeled after Paris's Metro that runs under Flinders Street to Flinders Street Station
- WWI Memorial Shrine - the WWI memorial shrine where there is an eternal rememberence flame, and that was architected so the sun hits the shrine directly on November 11th every year
- Views from Eureka Tower - Views from the Eureka Tower (tallest building in Melbourne) where Lydia, my cousin Ian, and I went when Ian was in town
