Looking east towards Melbourne CBD (city centre) from Footscray on a foggy autumn morning.  The Melbourne Star observation wheel is straight ahead.  To the right is part of the Port of Melburne.

It's an amazing thing. Opening my front door to this every morning. Every sunrise is different and I am lucky enough to see all of them. Melbourne from a distance? Beautiful.
