At last, today, work on my daughter's home in the Riverina has started...
Just...

more construction site 'found art'...

More 'found art' on my neighbour's Dromana Hills construction site...in late morning light...
This one, to me, suggests some kind of avant-garde musical instrument... pic.twitter.com/7B95Dv6yLA

found art...

I'm definitely becoming a fan of 'found art' - especially incidental, building construction art...
Here is one from my neighbour's construction in late afternoon sunlight...
It seems so symbolic... pic.twitter.com/Eelwr4IKza

early morning crane...

Nothing like a little variety to jazz up my Dromana Hills morning...
How about a crane thumping away right outside the window as it works on my neighbour's construction??...
(Too noisy to take a photo outside, so photo taken - ironically - through my smudgy lounge-room window)... pic.twitter.com/gXDiOofDUL

construction workers' world map...

Any palette is an opportunity for art...
It appears, from a Google search, that these are Turkish construction workers...But where exactly?
Interesting that Africa through to Europe is 'missing a seamless, vertical line of bricks'... https://t.co/aSxbMFtWf3

vaccination not violence...

@robynbryant33
'I think #VaccinationNotViolence will trend today.'
Dan Andrews' snap presser@8:15am=so calming. That's a leader.
Many protesters acted 'under the guise of a demo'+'leaderless'.
'The behaviour of a few should not cast dispersions on an entire industry'.
