    Mel, even on holiday I couldn`t resist commenting on this awesome shot. You take me to the most amazing places… did you take this on your second honeymoon? Are those fireworks lighting up the sky? Mrs. Brackstone, you are SUCH a romantic!

  • Mel Brackstone

    Mel Brackstone, 8 months ago

    Thanks so much everyone. Bill, these Mooloolabah shots take me away from my man for many hours, so no, this wasn’t taken on our second honeymoon. Strangely enough I didn’t get a lot of photos on that trip, certainly none that took hours to set up and execute, as this one did. ;Þ
