Why does maroubra junction look so seedy late at night? The wide road, the slightly shabby bus stop and post office, the boarded up construction site, the way the lights are spread, the unsavoury types running around with bottles of beer... it's so... seedy.
I seem to be noticing the alien quality of our world a lot lately. We don't really look at things, normally, but as I was walking home today I got a glimpse of the perspective, how low the houses are, how wide the sky is. You don't get that from aerial photographs... you have to actually be on the ground, you have to see that the houses are bigger than you but the sky is so much bigger and we are aliens after all. The only world we can call home is the one inside our own minds.

Have I showed you this website?: www.galleryserpentine.com
It is in Newtown. My faaaaavourite shop in the universe. (Disregard the front page though...the pvc isn't generally my thing...)
