A recent trip to Australia proved to be wonderful for photography. The city of Brisbane was home for a couple of weeks during the tropical heat of the Queensland summer, and impressed with its blue skies and dark storm clouds, graceful bridges and vast skyscrapers.

The Kurilpa Bridge became a regular haunt with its fascinating tangle of struts and cables – and it was a great platform for taking some night shots. My time in “Brissie” was one of celebration, new meetings and also great sadness. But the images I came back with are much treasured.
