Gateway Abstract
These structures resembling huge toothpicks were designed by John Denton greet drivers heading south towards Melbourne via the Tullamarine Freeway or going north via the Bolte bridge out of the city towards Melbourne's primary airport. Some call them the "Cheesesticks" but being red, I would liken them to toothpicks or those skinny salami sticks you sometimes get with your chhese squares and and so forth for nibbles at a party.

I've wanted to capture them for a while and the other day I found one of the best vantage points to do so for my purpose. I took a few toycamera and polaroid shots with my Diana and the old SX-70.
Being from the completely other side of town, I wasn't sure where best to go, but it's amazing what you can do if you study a street map!
My favourite capture of them came from my Plastic Lens though, I must admit.
