Golden Summer in Winter - a photo on Flickriver

            This shot was taken on the Artists' Trail, a section of the Main Yarra Trail in Melbourne.   At intervals there are reproductions of famous examples of the nineteenth century artworks from the Australian version of Impressionism practised by the "Heidelberg School", named after the nearby region now a suburb, but then bush and farming country where the artists set up a colony. The copies are placed near to where the paintings were (at least notionally) made. 

Arthur Streeton painted this well-known instance called, 'Golden Summer, Eaglemont', but the photo was taken in late afternoon three days after the winter solstice, so the sunlight was at its local feeblest.  The area is much more built over today than it was at the time of the painting; the cleared land has shrunk to a tiny fraction, but a strip of the flood-plain is now more grown over, partly with weeds, and partly with replanted native vegetation.

Melbourne has around 2000km of bike trails.  Most of these are shared footways and, being dictated by geography rather than demography, they meander a lot.  So unless you are lucky in where you live, they support recreation somewhat better than commuting.
