Summer is Here by

Well, it’s that time of the year again. Summer has well and truly arrived in Queensland, Australia, bringing with it our usual share of electrical storms. This one passed over Surfers Paradise this afternoon. As we live on the 33rd floor I get a ringside seat from my balcony. I don’t even have to venture out into the storm and risk getting wet, or worse, being hit by lightning.

Canon EOS 550D. Canon EFs 18-55mmIS kit lens @ 18mm.

About Ann Van Breemen

I am an avid photographer of just about anything, although I’m not so good at moving objects. Anything faster than a snail leaves me for dead. (haha) I do prefer natural landscapes over urban ones but, really, nothing is safe from my lens. I also enjoy turning my failed images, and there are lots, into digital art.

    You have a ringside seat Ann looks like a great location I have taken images from your neighbours balcony across there at the Marriot

    Love the strike

  • Thanks Kym. It’s funny but I sit in the loungeroom at in the evening and watch all the camera flashes going off as the holiday makers in the Marriott take photos of the sunsets, or storms or just the view. I can even see the flashes going off on the Q1 viewing deck. A pity they don’t seem to know how to turn them off. I hate to think what the photos must turn out looking like!!:)
