Melbourne January. Parks and lawns dying. No public watering allowed. Even next to the river dry and dusty.

Great shot - perfect centring of steps and lightpoles, with the runner directing our eyes to the dry ground. Shocking images of drought are coming from everywhere now - this one is one of the best yet I've seen of Melbourne.

@Sidonie: Yes, there was a felling of apocalypse in Melbourne. No rain, and the sky choked with bushfire smoke. Perth is green in comparison.

I think drought has its own beauty too,and you captured and presented it well here ! I mean look at the vast dried land in that picture and that 'little' man on it,give me a kind of feeling that I can't figure out to say by words ! Yeah ! oh btw why in the earth that no public watering is allowed? Is it because for scares of public poisonous water or what? Haha....
