Gateway
These structures designed by John Denton greet drivers heading south towards Melbourne via the Tullamarine Freeway or going north via the Bolte bridge out of the city towards Melbourne’s primary airport. Some call them the “Cheesesticks” but being red, I would liken them to toothpicks or those skinny salami sticks you sometimes get with your chhese squares and and so forth for nibbles at a party.
I’ve wanted to capture them with plastic for a while and today I found one of the best vantage points to do so for my purpose. Being from the completely other side of town, I wasn’t sure where best to go, but it’s amazing what you can do if you study a street map!
Anyway, I just wanted to capture an impression of this sculptures geometric regularity against the clear blue sky. I think it’s safe to say I’m fairly happy with this shot.
