Bernie's Mum and Dad are cruising around Australia. They docked in Brisbane on the Dawn Princess this morning. We picked them up and took them up to Mount Coot-tha. First to the Botanic Garden where, after a walk, we all had lunch, then up to the lookout for a few shots and coffee.
My family gave me a HDR (High Definition Range) program for my birthday, so I had a chance to try it out. All of the images here are in HDR.

We had a good day and enjoyed Helen and Neville's company. They sailed out of Brisbane just after 6 PM and now on the way north to Airlie Beach.
It was a nice day with nice company.

Terrific photos, Bill - love the stargazer statue!
ReplyDeleteThe Dawn Princess was here in Napier recently. These cruise liners travel such huge distances now and the world has become a very small place for even more people.
