Hi

Having been somewhat starved of photons and photo opportunities since Oct 2006, when my wife announced broken cloud around 3:00am, we decided to jump in the car and head for a Brisbane beauty spot, the Mt Coot-tha lookout, some 7 kms W of the CBD.

We were almost drenched by a City Council truck that was watering the gardens, the driver surprised to see anyone there at that godforsken hour.

Anyhow, the clouds more or less dispersed and we were granted a spectacular view of the pre-dawn skies. Pity my batteries died on the 5th image....and yes...I did not have any spares. Oh well, it was a wonderful sunrise to boot.
