Summit for Sale

Yeah OK, it probably refers to one of the units behind the sign, but it does actually say "SUMMIT FOR SALE".

I guess the buyer will need a mountain of cash ... because it will certainly sell at a peak price... OK, i'll stop now ;)

Real-life Prius

Readers of my Convenient Solutions blog will be familiar with my enthusiasm for Hybrid Cars. So when i wandered by this one, i couldn't help but get out my camera. At almost the same instant, the driver of the vehicle returned.

I explained my excitement. He offered to let me have a look inside - wow! Suffice to say that it made my day. We then chatted, and he confirmed how little petrol it uses, and how quite it drives - especially when it's not using the petrol motor.

Toowong Sunset

Yeah, it's another from my increasing sunset collection. For sunset enthusiasts, this one is taken from the corner of Kennington Tce and Holland St.

Going green

I snapped a shot of this billboard for an article in my other blog Convenient Solutions.

As i was cropping out some unwanted background distractions, i noticed that just at the moment of the shot, a pedestrian (slightly obscured) and cyclist were passing by the sign.

With the sign promoting Virgin's 'carbon neutral' travel, the irony was delicious. :)

Department Store Drive-Through?

Possibly they mean something else, but there could be some exhausted shoppers who need some automotive assistance to complete their purchasing expedition ;)

Very Bunny

Nothing says Easter quite like a multi storey inflatable rabbit - at least not if you're a big shopping centre ;)

Of course, had the entire thing been made from chocolate, i would have been impressed. Especially if passers-by were allowed hack off a chunk for their own personal consumption ;)

Hello Possum

On my balcony the other morning, and i discovered this little critter having a little lie-down behind the plants. (Actually i think he discovered me first)

Once he'd discovered that i was no threat to his new little nap-place, he was quite happy to slide back in behind the green pot for another daytime snooze.

At a Stretch

I was in the city the other week - as you may have noticed from the last pic. Taking other photos (which turned out badly) when this limo came along.


I had never seen one "in the flesh" and was quite excited. It's sooo stretched! I can't believe how stretched it is. That's gotta be equal to 3 normal cars. :)

Mini Car

I don't often travel into the city centre, so you can imagine my surprise to find this in the middle of Central station.


Sure, i understand that it's difficult to find a park in the city, but i dunno that parking on the railway station concourse is the answer ;)

Mind you, i have sometimes wondered if parking lots could make slightly smaller parking spaces available - preferably at the most convenient places. Apart from creating more spaces, it would also reward drivers of smaller, less polluting vehicles.

Posing

Continuing the theme of photos OF me, my friend Ben (you can see him in the reflection off the glass) recently coaxed me into posing for this photo. He's quite of good photographer i reckon - and the pic comes in handy when i need a profile pic ... like for my blog.
