On Saturday 26th October we went for a walk around the top end of Fitzroy in Melbourne  along Gertrude Street. There was some art to be seen as well as the fun of the street.

One reason was to visit the exhibition at This Is no Fantasy gallery – to see the recent works of Ellen Dahl (image below) . Worth the visit especially as we peeped into the backroom and saw other photographs such as a piece by Michael Cook (2nd image below)

Also on Gertrude Street is the gallery for the Australian Print Workshop – image below.

Gertrude Street was busy with lunch time diners and others just wandering about – as we were. The mix of architecture is worth the visit and leads to debates about the wonders of the older stuff, how it is and isn’t being looked after and what form of modern architecture is appropriate – fits in or doesn’t.
