Winter is really hitting its stride right about now. So cold that you can spot the air as you breathe out into the night. Or the early morning. Whatever suits the crazy half naked run around the block.

The above photo comes from the middle of August 2005 as the suits make their way home from work.

Martin Place in the city. On location for filming of a runaway car scene for Superman Returns. Extras in the shot are shaking and shivering just chilling out with the evening session. Over on the far side, there's a truck running down with people jumping out of its way.

Damn, it's beyond cold. Imagine standing around trying to make it look like it isn't putting icicles in our veins.

 

Down in Martin Place, for at least this Saturday, the flag poles all up and down Martin Place look so very tempting once more. Reports will have it that Superman Returns has returned for some location filming. And with the banners flapping in the winds, how can they be wrong?

Need to scale the poles in order to souvenir one of the Metropolis Museum banners? Try it during the day time, when more people are less likely to be that of the Red Sun crew. And bring something like clippers or scissors hardy enough to clip plastic rings off. Don't forget a stick to flick the top part off the holding pole.

What else are you going to do in the city?
