Queensland December

My neighbourhood, 6.43pm, facing east.

The same street, 6.43pm, facing west.

I took these pictures on the way home from my church's Christmas carols tonight. My feet were in the same spot for each picture; I just turned in a different direction. To me, these pictures sum up the changeable nature of Australia, and especially Queensland, at Christmas time.

Conversations:

Samantha R -- I consider that a real compliment, seeing as you are a beautiful photographer with way more experience than me! Mm, yes, I think Pride & Prejudice is probably a little in front of Sense & Sensibility in the favourites stakes -- but only just.

Rebecca -- and to you! Although it's a rainy Sunday here and not a sunny one, so please choose your desired wish: rainy or sunny (and enjoy!).

Katie -- oh, thank you! (For some reason I can't seem to enable the photo commenting option at my picture tumblr, but I'll keep trying.)

  1. Fantastic! I think I could probably take a similar photo in Melbourne these days. For every sunny patch of sky, there's an ominous stormcloud lurking in the background.

    I just love the colours in the sky, though. Even the stormy sky has a beautiful purply hue to it.

    Thank you for the sweet compliment! :)
    You really do have an eye too!

  3. So spectacular! Looking forward to seeing you and the sky all in the same place. That poem is beautiful.

  5. Wow that's so groovy!
    Ah well, I stand corrected. The weather is so changeable in this country!
    Enjoy your week, whatever the temperature or precipitation (or lack thereof) may be :-)
