We don’t get into Brisbane Central Business district much any more but when we do it is always good to see all the changes and upgrades.

From the gardens it was into the Queen Street Mall much like every other city centre mall I have been too, nice to get there early before it gets too busy.

Oh nice! I spent about 10 months living on Vulture St a long, long time ago, so it's exciting to see all these areas again. I didn't know about the casino complex.... interesting.

Love seeing the lizards again, although you might want to check the spelling, you may have accidentally made our little friend into a savory snack.

I am scrolling through every shot wondering how a place can be so beautiful. I love how nature has been allowed to thrive in such a 'modern' world. Everything has blended in with the obvious great weather so well :)

Yes with the light, a decent camera phone, the right angle and a bit of time it's surprising easy to find good nature photos all around us. Thanks for the support.
