Something's missing ...

Well Melbourne is certainly gearing up for Christmas, in much the same way that many other cities around the world are.

This is a selection of photos that I took when I was wandering around central Melbourne yesterday - but I think that something is missing from all of them.  Let me know if you can figure out what I'm talking about - and if you agree or not.

And I couldn't resist taking this one ... what one does after a long, "hot" day of Christmas shopping here.
