South Esk in FLood

I didn't end up getting any worthwhile photos of the rolling brown water as I walked up the side of the Gorge. Even when the light wasn't a problem, there was nothing to provide a sense of scale.

Except when there was a painter down by the water.

I'm all for painting on site, but hmmm, I'm not sure that's the best time & place for it.



It loses a lot at 500 pixels wide.

Most lovely place though, and unless you've been there, you really can't appreciate how close it is to the city centre. It's literally on the edge of the city. Kings Bridge, where the path that runs along the Cliffside starts, is probably 10-15 mins easy walk from the Brisbane St Mall.



First Basin & the playground. The edge of the swimming pool can be seen!

Now onto the bridge. I haven't taken many photos from on the bridge in recent times because the battery would run out before I got there :(

Now I was organised and took a photo of the sign, so I wouldn't have to check what the name of the bridge was when I writing this.

That's the date of the original bridge though. I'm fairly sure it was replaced, but when I went to see, all I found was this and that confused me. :)





The shadows on the water & rock didn't show much at all when looked at directly.



On the way home, I went down to the edge of the river.
