Mt Coot-tha Lookout Skywatch


It's funny - where I grew up in London, if you looked out of the window and saw this sky you'd be grabbing a coat but at this time of year in Brisbane, a break in the rain often means the humidity rises, the cicadas hiss louder and things get a little bit sticky.

    Sure looks like a good place to stand around looking at the view.

    Say, did you happen to see a circle of people up there when you took this shot (which I can only assume was on Australia Day; as it was the only day that cleared up enough for us Brisbanites to venture out)?

    If you did, very cool! A few of my friends were there gathering energy and spreading it... pity I couldn't make it. :(
