We walked along the pier and I set up the tripod to take some snaps of the view, see what you think.
(The little portable tripod is amazing, great to use and light enough to carry around without breaking your arm)

I presume it is called St Kilda because some of the refugees from St Kilda in the Outer Hebredies settled there?
ReplyDeleteThe photos hint of summer on its way - the view from window hints of Autumn soon to come...
P.
Should read: 'the view from MY window...' sorry typo...
ReplyDeleteThanks 'P'
ReplyDeleteI believe that St Kilda was named after a schooner Lady of St Kilda, which was in turn named in honour of Lady Grange, who was imprisoned on the island of St Kilda by her husband in 1734-1742.
The schooner was moored at the main Melbourne beach for much of 1841, and somehow the name stuck.
So you are right in a kind of round about way about the Outer Hebredies.
