I saw that image on a bus stop at Clayton, SE Melbourne, Victoria, just last night.

I was just dodging rain, getting on a bus, when I noticed it. I saw the image and thought it looked familar, saw a quote with "Mike Salway" beneath it.

The bus was leaving so couldn't take a snap.... perhaps tonight.

Still raining in Melbourne thanks to a special Sab low we set up at the BoM to celebrate Hot n Spicy. Caught the bus home again and had time to snap a shot of the WA Tourism poster. Clayton, Melbourne.

Congrats, Mike! Now you need to make sure you take enough images on your holiday in WA to win another major competition next year

Cheers,
Alex

I stumbled across the one at Wynyard yesterday and thought "What a great sky scape!" and then didn't connect the dots until now

Congrats on all counts, and a well-deserved coffee for being there at that time this morning

Thanks guys Starting to come back to earth now, but always great when another friend from Victoria sends me a new picture of the billboard on a train station at Flinders St or Richmond

Jeanette I'm insanely jealous of your US trip - looks like it was soooo good!

Was walking back to the office yesterday, after a lunch with some colleagues, and what did we stumble across on Sussex St?

Very cool

Sure would've been nice to get royalties from these displays
