You see some odd sights walking the streets around Kings Cross.

But McElhone Street has a couple of lovely surprises on the side.

The laneway garden above is on Windeyer Street.

This one’s at the end of Rae Place.

These gardens remind us a lot of this one in Thomson Street.

Street proud residents, lane way love.

I can’t help but think about cast-offs in the street.

This car door was sitting on Burton Street (near Thomson) in Darlinghurst yesterday. Leaned up against an old pigeon-hole cabinet with an old blanket swung over the top, it was a snapshot of some other place. A bit of country NSW in town, maybe.

Torn from a car by a thief, remnant of a back-room mechanic’s operation gone wrong? Replaced? So many questions.
