Can you play me a memory?

Busking outside Southern Cross Station. The hustle and bustle of Melbourne CBD streets still a memory after 2020-21 lockdowns, with office workers still working from home and office occupancy rates at only 45% of pre-COVID levels. About 15% CBD retail spaces still unoccupied.

I like this capture. That blue stool really stands out. Christmas might help but I doubt we’ll ever get back to how it was.

Thankyou. I agree that it may never be the same. Sometimes, though, the contrast is really striking.

A great candid shot. I hope that there is enough footfall to reward him for his efforts.

A candid look into the new world. I doubt office space will be filled in the near future. It is so easy to work remotely for many now and also saves the Companies money.

[Diana]

Lovely candid capture. It seems to be the same all over the world.

Very nice shot

[Suzanne]

I hope so, too! Thanks for your visit.

We were just in Europe and, to me as a visitor, the effects seemed less evident. @ludwigsdiana

[Suzanne]

Thankyou.

A symbol of a sad period, one can only hope that it will turn around one day.

[Suzanne]

Yes, I agree.
