Our World Tuesday: QLD Summer before the storm season

As many of you know, Queensland has had a very wet and stormy Summer this year. The weather was great (hot and humid) until mid January when the state was hit by tornadoes, cyclones, too much rain and an awful lot of flooding.

The last 2 days have seen the return of blue skies and fluffy clouds with a few occasional showers. I haven't had a chance to get my camera out as I am now a Uni student again, after 26 years.  My first degree was teaching, and I retired from teaching in mid 2006 to work in University Administration from 2007 until mid 2010. My new degree is a Bachelor of Health Information Management - a totally different field! Exciting, but oh so much reading!!

Anyway, here is what the first 7-8 weeks of the Brisbane, QLD Summer looked like...

       

Water Sport Sunday

On Sunday afternoon we took a drive down to one of my favourite sunset spots - Wellington Point. It's a popular day trip destination all year round but Summer brings out all the extreme water sport fanatics and makes for even more interesting photography.

The kitesurfers are rather amazing to watch... now that's some real "air" he's getting.

Coming in to land...

Touchdown!

And a sharp turn creates some impressive spray...

The sunset was impressive too.

I hope you had a lovely weekend.
