August Theme Day: Postcard-worthy



 It's the first of the month and, as City Daily Photo bloggers, we all get the chance to take a picture along the same theme. This month's theme is "postcard-worthy". I think that had I remembered about the theme day sooner I would have gone for something a little naughty perhaps involving some well-endowed women strategically placed behind some tropical fruit but... well time eluded me (not to mention willing volunteers). So instead, here is a Brisbane sky, lit by the dying embers of a winter sunset. That's the city on the right and the observation wheel just visible under the Goodwill footbridge. And of course the mighty Brisbane River around which Brisbane is built.

Having a ball - wish you were here!

    Lovely colours and feeling to this shot, Cara. I like the deep feeling to the river in the foreground.

    Definitely a postcard. Beautiful. I totally forgot about theme day and had to go hunting. Couldn't even find one of Sydney (bad me).

    A really wonderful photo, Cara. There was just enough sunset left to cast that glow which is beautiful.
