Mirrored Skywatch


As part of the Brisbane Festival, they have erected this large Light Sphere at South Bank (see two days ago for another view) which is just fab. You could spend ages there checking out all the reflections... and you can see the sky from all sorts of angles.

For even more skyviews, visit Skywatch Friday.

    I saw the thumbnail image and had to see what it was all about. :)
    A super shot! Your composition of the reflected scene is wonderful!
    I loved the previous shot as well.

    Wonderful reflections of a beautiful sky.
    Brisbane was a beautiful place when I visited 30 years ago, and I'm sure it's just as beautiful now.

    What a fantastic piece Cara, I really like it in the first image, but this one is spectacular with all the reflections of the sky, and is that bridge I see! Fabulous.

    According to our local rag - whoops - "The Beaudesert Times" - this mirror ball was built right here in Beaudesert using 360 convex mirrors imported from China; and at 5m wide it is 2m short of a "world" record but is mooted to be the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

    Beaudesert is very small country town about an hour's drive south of Brisbane.

    Hooray for us!

    Loved both your shots Cara. Any chance you got a night time one? I understand there were light shows around there.

    Hi Joanna, I've been on night shifts for the past 7 nights which has been very frustrating but tomorrow night I'm planning to head down to the laser show and take a few pics. That's the plan anyway!
