🚁 (Andrew Griffiths, not Andy Griffiths the author ) is recognised as one of the world's most respected aerial photographers and is a home grown talent! 🏠 ⁠

Each photo has a brilliantly subtle watermark, can you each one?⁠

We've grouped together some of his most popular shots from around the world from New York, London, Barcelona and humble little Melbourne 😌⁠

131 times ♻️⁠
⁠
For tote bag to have lower global warming potential than a single-use plastic bag it needs to be used 131 times.
⁠
It sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. If you do something like the following once a fortnight than you'd use your tote bag 131+ times in a year. ⁠
⁠
For example: Saturday morning you walk to the shops and grab some bread from (1). Later that day, you go the the shops grab a book from (2), top up on some fruit and veg from (3) plus grab a RAT (4) and some fresh beans from (5). ⁠
⁠
😅 We both know you're not finding a RAT so casually!⁠
⁠
Now add onto this, every other time you'd use it. If you shop for groceries once a week that's another 50+ uses & 180+ in one year. ⁠
⁠
🛍️ paper bags should be used 3 times 🛍️ ⁠
⁠
Google "Report: SC030148" and the study is listed on the first link. ⁠

*Note this is a full study condensed to an instance post and it's also one of many that such studies.

Image Description: a black tote bag is being held out in front of a grey back drop.

Originally, the Carlton Gardens were surrounded by a timber picket fence, though this had become dilapidated by the time of the announcement of the 1880 International Exhibition.

A cast iron palisade fence was constructed to enclose the Carlton Gardens prior to the opening of the Exhibition in 1880. Only one length of the original fence remains in place. This is that one piece.

This is maybe my most anticipated book of the year! I just made my pre-order and can't wait!

is the Outback Neistat and the explore your own backyard extraordinaire. You might know him from school as your professor or maybe you've seen him on TV or online as the guy that ate only beans for 40 days (191 tins if you were wondering) and ran a mile every hour for 24 hours not to mention in between a every mile he built a table, meal prepped, did some gardening, some cleaning and more!

if you're ever in Melbourne and want to grab lunch it's on me 😉 Maybe after a quick run first...

1999 at Richmond V Carlton one of the most dramatic openings to a sporting match in Australian history took place.

The scoreboard caught on fire! There were flames 20m high and over $4 million worth of damage in just 16 minutes.

But what happened to the scoreboard?

Well, just 20% of it was damaged so it wad repaired and used for the rest of the season.

It was replaced ahead of the 2000 season.

One it was replaced it was actually sent to Madras Cricket Club in Chennai, India where it lived happily ever after ❤️🇮🇳

How cool are these giant magnets from 😍 The minties and chomps are my favorites for sure!

🙌 Billie was awesome enough to give me a few pointers on making giant magnets like these.

🤔 So if we did make a couple giant magnets, what would you want to see? Giant metcard, skipping girl, tram, Montague Bridge with a truck hitting it or maybe something else?

👉 Swipe to the end to see our skipping girl we think would make a great giant magnet...

🎨 is such an awesome all round artist. Go check out her work!

There was a competition in '78 to build an iconic landmark for Melbourne. The winner would have received $500,000 in today's money.

The "landmark" was going to be built where Fed Square sits today.

There were 2300+ entries from 24 countries... But in the end there was no winner. Looking at some of these designs, maybe that was a good thing.

Have you seen this hotel before? It's cost $1.2m to build and has zero rooms. You can't stay here over night, there are no bnb options or anything like that. It's a sculpture 🏨

🎨 Built in '07 and designed by exploring the impact of architecture.

🤘 The hotel was used on the cover of
album in 2019.

🏢 To me, this is Melbourne's version of Leinster Garden in London. Look this up if you don't what it is, it's really interesting. Also dm me if you of anything like this in Melbourne.

👴 Early last year, he had created a giant Trump head in

📸 and are the two feature photographers

If I wasn’t renting I’d ask .r.e.z to paint every wall and door in my house! Maybe, I’d buy a aircon first because it’s just gross and humid today, but right after that I know ... 🎶 ‘who I’m gonna call’ ‘ .r.e.z (busters)’

It’s too hot to think of anything witty. Ignore me and just go follow .r.e.z
