Brighton Beach and Bathing Boxes

Original - Dendy Street Beach and Middle Brighton Beach in Brighton, Victoria on a summer's afternoon, featuring the colourful Melbourne tourist icon of the Brighton Bathing Boxes. In the background can be seen the Middle Brighton Baths, the Middle Brighton Pier and Breakwater, and boats of the Royal Brighton Yacht Club. In the far distance is the Melbourne City skyline, some 12km away.

Reason: Diliff's recent nominations from Brighton Beach in England reminded of my own Brighton images from the other side of the world. High quality and well composed image of one of the tourist attractions of Melbourne with lots of interesting action to boot.

Support, though we shall have to be careful to distinguish Brighton, England, with Brighton Beach, Australia. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 14:07, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Love the skyline in the background, makes you immediately aware of the fact that this shot was taken in Melbourne. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 16:58, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, you've caputured so much- I love the way you have the sea, the sky, the city, the houses, the beach, the beach huts... Really great shot. J Milburn (talk) 20:15, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Could have potentially been a difficult stitch with the kitesurfers in the frame. Noodle snacks (talk) 22:48, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Brilliant. You can almost see my house :) I'm almost tempted to mock up a labelled silhouette. There are a lot of identifiable landmarks: Southern Star Observation Wheel, Brighton Pier, Rialto Towers, Crown Casino, Eureka Tower, Palais Theatre, Luna Park (just visible), ASX building (and probably others I don't know). And some yobbo with a VB in his hand on the right? Stevage 01:04, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Nice panorama. I've always thought that the view from this part of Melbourne would make a good skyline panorama, but the way you've captured it as part of the beach is great. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 20:50, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
