Had a quiet twenty minutes or so in the middle of the day today - I went a couple of blocks in the opposite direction to where I usually go and found myself beside the Brisbane River. For being in the Big City, and almost always heading deeper into the concrete jungle, the riverside is surprisingly close. Had a great view of the Story Bridge, and sat down and just watched the ferries cut through the chop - I could have walked up and down the pathway, but it was hot enough already - early 30s. Likely to be that warm until at least Sunday as well.
The river isn't exactly harbour blue, and there wasn't an ice cream cart nearby, but the sense of peace, calm and relaxation was similar to the feeling I used to have wandering down to the waterfront in Wellington. I must post that 'postcard' email I sent out a few years ago - that I had posted on one of my older blogs...
It was just good to get out of the office, away from the traffic, listening to the distant hum of the Story Bridge, and the passing ferries. Very nice.
