Black Hawk

These two Black Hawk helicopters followed shortly after the Tiger, also photographed from the Kurilpa bridge in Brisbane.

Reporting The Case

This is the Channel 10 News reporter outside the Commonwealth Law Courts in Brisbane. She was reporting on the high profile case of the four daughters caught in an international custody dispute. Shortly after they were sent back to their father in Italy.

Dress Code: Business, shoes optional.

Formidable Tiger

This is the Eurocopter Tiger, a combat helicopter in use with the Australian Army. I took this one from the Kurilpa bridge in Brisbane as it was practicing manoeuvres for the Brisbane Riverfire display.

Shopping, to the sounds of the street musician.

Sunset in the Okavango

Few places are as beautiful and simply magical as the untouched areas in Africa. This picture was taken by Sam van Niekerk while on a fishing trip in the Okavango. This is an excellent picture and one that I'm proud to add to my "Guest Photographers" section. Not only did he capture an amazing sunset, but also captured the atmosphere and spirit of Africa.

Brisbane Jacarandas

Not quite on the scale of the Jacarandas in Pretoria, South Africa, but Brisbane also has many Jacarandas that are also very beautiful and impressive. October is the time to see these trees in full bloom, like these two on the shores of the Brisbane river.

The Cathedral

Some time back I posted pictures taken inside the St John's Cathedral in Brisbane, this is the same cathedral viewed from Queen street.

Let me see?

Vivid Colours of the Brisbane Skyline

This is my third attempt at the Brisbane skyline from Kangaroo point, and I think the best one so far. I set the ISO level to 200, resulting in the shutter staying open for much longer, which had the effect of smoothing out the water and capturing brighter colours.

Defiant Hope

Nature is simply amazing - not only will it always try to survive, but in some cases it will thrive against all odds. I spotted these two trees in Brisbane, growing on the side of a wall about two stories high.

The same wall also hosted some ferns.
