Day 351- elements of life

 
1 March 2011- A bottle of New Zealand water. I love the bottle shape. Unfortuntely this water is not stocked anywhere in Brisbane and we only get it once a year, at an NZ wine tasting event. We get quite a few bottles though!

Day 326 - Water

 
4 February 2011- Or more accurately, water bottles. We moved offices in December and this one doesn't have a plumbed in water filter/chiller. So the office supplies water bottles. I don't think they knew about my 2 litres a day habit when they made that decision. I don't drink juices or soft drinks, so the only cold option is water. I drink a lot of it as it then prevents me from drinking many cups of coffee (bad) or eating too much chocolate (also bad). Plus, it is really important to stay hydrated, and I don't tend to get the right signals in a humid climate. Dehydration is horrible.

Day 304 - At the Park

 
13 January 2011 - We went for a walk in the are of our suburb that flooded- this is one of the first places that started getting water, and of the last to lose it. It is a park with a creek that runs down to the river. The road just down from here flooded a bit and most of the businesses had sandbags out.

Day 303 - Flood

 
12 January 2010- A picture of the rising Brisbane River. I wasn't going to try to get really close, so this is a distance shot of an area that usually has a walking track. See all of the little wooden structures, they aren't meant to be half covered by the water...

Day 302 - More water

 
11 January 2011- A puddleforming by the side of the house with dirt accumulating in the rush of water down the slope.

Day 301- More water

 
10 January 2011- A drainage channel at the soccer field. I have never seen it this full, we have had a lot of rain

Day 300 - Rain

 
9 January 2011- This was a tough selection,there were a couple of good shots of the scultures next to this slab. All taken while a very angry lady screamed at the world just behind me.

Day 287- Water everywhere

 
27 December 2010- The water at the bottom of the front steps- runoff coming down from the backyard + rain

Day 279 - Disaster

 
19 December 2010- The great book disaster of 2010- the day we discovered that the cardboard boxes holding the books were soaking up water.

Day 276 - Rain, Rain, go away...

 
16 December 2010 - Or just hang around for the next few weeks instead. Rain drops on my wind at work.

Day 271- I'll take the stairs

 
11 December 2010 - The last remains of public baths on the Brisbane river

Day 261 - Water Everywhere

 
1 December 2010-It has been raining for a while in Brisbane, and places constructed between the 1970s and 2010 often fail to have the necessary coping strategies required- which means that they flood.

Day 249 -Gathering clouds

 
19 November 2010- Looking from Bulimba towards the CBD, the clouds were quite spectacular

Day 229 - At the wrecks

 
30 October 2010- Near Tangalooma there are several wrecks, located in a line- intended to give some safe shelter points for smaller boats, but now developing into a good fish viewing area.

Day 228 - Sunset

 
29 October 2010- Home at last (kind of. Once we arrived home from the airport- a 3hour trek on forms of public transport we had to leave fairly soon to go to Tangalooma. This is the sunset from the island!

Day 202

 
3 October 2010- The leaves on my potted lime tree, after the rain

Day 197 Rain

 
28 September 2010 - It started to pour in the afternoon.

Day 161 - Tranquility

 
23 August 2010 - The Brisbane river, near Graceville, so calm. This is what it must have been like when the first boats arived, all the way through the city.

Day 10: The River

25 March 2010 - Taken with the night shot function, while waiting for the ferry. I wasn't this light, but the camera had a nice long exposure and produced this.
