New Kid on the Block

Description


The view up to the 69th floor of Aurora, the latest building to be completed in Brisbane.
This is right next door to where I work (and sure over-shadows our 21 storeys).
Hand held, auto settings.

Country Paul kindly wrote on another thread:

"You Brisvagians and your shiny new buildings!!! LOL!! A terrific capture. Hope it doesn't block your sun too much!"


Paul, luckily the upper design of this building (like an eye shape) allows views and sun for most of the higher floors (but those on the lower floors miss out on everything)
