Nice shots of my favourite city, but of course I'm biased. I actually saw the "cool dude" for the 1st time today myself. My immediate thought was, that'd make a good photo!
Southbanks a good place for pics. Night shots can be quite spectacular. Did you enjoy your stay? Where part of this great state are you from, if you don't me asking?
I think if I gave each city I have been to, a score to rate them overall, Brisbane would come out on top. I have been to 28 different countries, so I have been to a few different cities, albeit a few years ago.
I passed St Johns Cathedral, and the Cool Dude in the taxi from the airport to my hotel, so I made the walk back in that direction, plenty to see around that part of the city.
I was only there for one night this time, for the "Stare of Origin" game, so my photo opportunities were limited to one afternoon.
I live near Mackay now, have for the last 10 years. It is a bit harder here to carry a camera around and take photos. Most people will look at you as though you are some kind of wierdo. Most people here dont appreciate you pointing a camera in their general direction either, so you got to be careful where and when you shoot.
All that aside, its a good place to live here, the climate is great.
The worst thing about this area, is the high cost of living, pushed up because of the coal mining industry on our doorstep. The mines bought me here, the company I was working for transferred me here to help start up a new mine. I have since left that company, but have stayed on in the area.
