Brisbane has all sorts of weird and wonderful things about it. One of them is the weather.

The other night, a clear and mild warm evening, we saw this cloud appear over the horizon. Occasionally it would flash.  Then it started coming closer, and flashing more, and more and more.

Soon, this small cloud was right in front of us, only taking a small corner of the otherwise completely clear sky, and inside that little cloud was a fierce thunderstorm.  How cool is that?


Beautiful!

Photonerds:  This was taken with a Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.4, a lens known for it's sharpness and colour saturation.  There is some flare though...

i know...  I haven't done this in ages.   So much has been going on.   So much.  In case you haven't yet realized, life is complex and sad and wonderful and crazy and so much.  It's like when you surf a wave that's a little too big for you; exciting, scary, fun, wonderful, painful, sobering, enlightening.  Sometimes you ride it out like a hero, sometimes you crash.

So what can i share?  Not much, unfortunately.  Not yet.  I'm still processing everything.  I've even had to broaden my generalizations.  When you do that, you know it's profound.
I'm gonna share a few things:  My apartment in the morning light.  I love this.  little sailboats and that crystalline amber light which makes me want to throw myself into traffic:

Amber light:















The river in the morning:
















I don't know if any of you have seen the movie 'Lost in Translation'.  you should.  It's grand.  It about sums up how i'm feeling these days.

Rent it, watch it, especially the end.  Life is short people....  Got to enjoy what you can when you can and respect all of it.
