Under The Bridge… are PEDESTRIANS

I think I am a bit more amused by the exclamation mark on the pole in the picture than I really should be.  It just seems so unnecessary, because now I can’t help but feel like the pole is yelling at me, “PEDESTRIANS! PEDESTRIANS ON YOUR LEFT!!!!”

The funniest part is that I was standing on the edge of the path when I took this, with a river on my right, so the pedestrians can only be on the left of that pole.  It’s just water on the right.

PS: I now have the Red Hot Chili Peppers stuck in my head, which I guess isn’t a bad thing.

A Wheel and a Show

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I am officially in love with taking photos at night.  It is a little bit of a hassle to trek around with a tripod, but I think the end result is worth it.  The Brisbane River looks horrible during the day (brown and murky), but boy does it make for great nocturnal pictures!  That’s our tiny little ferris wheel up there, next to our performing arts centre.  So I guess you could theoretically go for a spin then catch the latest performance, all in one night.

I was also lucky enough to catch a couple of ferries streaking past while I had the shutter open, which always makes for brilliant light trails.
