Dandenong Ranges National Park

Monday morning was perfect weather to conquer the 1,000 Steps Kokoda Track Memorial Walk in the Dandenong Ranges National Park, with a couple of quick shots along the way.

I captured these three photographs at different points along the trail.

Brisbane by night

While Brisbane didn't provide many opportunities for landscape photography during the day, it did sparkle at night.  I captured these scenes of the Brisbane River and city skyline on the foreshore of the Riverside Centre.

 

And Brisbane aglow from Southbank.

 

Brisbane by day

A recent trip to Brisbane should have provided ample opportunity for an afternoon of photography, however the weather wasn't so obliging.  An overcast gloomy day with a white sky wasn't a great backdrop for my usual landscape scenes, so I had to get a little more creative. 

I captured these shots at the Botanical Gardens in central Brisbane.

 

 

Brisbane by night however, did sparkle.....

The Windmill

Here are a few shots that I captured at Woodlands Historic Park.  The windmill and shed are relics of the old homestead.

 

 

 

South Wharf

South Wharf is expanding fast with lots of new restaurants and apartments.  It provides a new vantage point to photograph the city, and of couse I had to capture the fire brigades in front of Crown Casino from this view too!

 

Little Christmas Present

Here's mum and dad's little Christmas present.  Little for now at least....
