Watching people, people watching....!


Described as a 'bohemian hangout' Greens & Co on Oxford Street in Leederville is such a great spot to sit, drink good coffee, try NOT to eat divine cake (successfully yesterday hurray!) and people watch! Along with the cafes and restaurants on Oxford St. there are also some really groovy shops, one I always like to check out is Atlas Divine, lots of quirky gear there! Greens & Co is where we usually have coffee after the camera market, remember the 'hanging balls'! This month's CDP theme is 'people watching, to see more images from around the world click here.....

  10. Ooh, very lovely - great people watching and theme day shot! (And since I live in the 90s and do not have Facebook, I didn't even know the theme day - time to get on FB, methinks!) I liked your other Green & Co shots, though I fear they'll be forever erasing various 'ck'-s from their sign :)

    (On 2nd glance, the little golden statue really does look like a buddha statue! And perhaps one of your favourite films begins with Remains of...? I love that movie :))

  19. When I was in California last weekend, I spent about 3 hours at this Fabulous shopping center called Fashion Island and I got myself and large iced tea and I sat and watched people. It was so entertaining. The best part was all the kids enjoying a wonderful koi pond with lots of stepping stones. Sometimes people watching can be all the entertainment you need.
