Haven't posted for a couple of days as I've been on the road so slotting these in for #wp #365project #365project2013 #365photo

Most of the photos I take on my walks are from the wider open spaces, but this section of the Bicentennial Bikeway and pedestrian path passes under the South East Free-way.

Still on wet days or hot days it gives a bit of respite from the weather. On earlier morning walks in winter however, the wind coming off the river can make things a bit brisk.

Looking downstream while crossing the Brisbane River via the Story bridge.

Shorter days mean I'm getting to see the sunrise a bit more often, and the cooler conditions make walking a bit brisk – especially if you throw in some showers.

I never cease to enjoy walking over this bridge no matter what the weather. Its about 70m to the water I'm told so you get great views upstream and down.

The oversized industrial nature of its construction and the way it sweeps from one side of the river to the other is always a pleasure.

Main thing to do is to get on it before the traffic builds up for the day, although I notice if there is a bit of rain about that does keep the pollution down.

My current favourite fish shop – Georges Seafoods in Boundary Street, West End.

Always friendly, well cooked and reasonably priced – who could ask for more.

Good to have the footy season back with us – and a trip to the Gabba for the Lions first home game of the season.

Unfortunately they didn't have the intesity of the Crows going down my about 3 goals.

Recently opened in Tribune Street, South Brisbane is Hoo Ha Bar.

Currently its just serving coffee, and some very affordable eats and juices.  As you can see by the layout it is more designed as an alcohol serving bar but once it gets its license in about a months time it should prove popular with  commuters as South Bank Rail Station is right next door and the South Bank Busway terminal is just across the road

I often pass this laneway off Edward Street in Brisbane city, but have had a poor record of photographing it.

I've been past a couple of times with my DSLR but those times the gates have been shut. At other times the day has been not right, light burning in from both ends burning out the shot.

I chanced past this morning but only with my phone, which like most camera phones wants to overexpose the shot adding a lot of noise. In this case at least i got the nice play of light over the tag.

Part of the Bicentennial Bikeway, this section runs past the Parliament House and QUT buildings towards gardens Point. This shot looking up stream towards North Quay. 

The jetty through the mangroves is for the QUT CityCat stop. The mangroves in this area have been quite dense over the years but recent floods have knocked them about significantly.

It seems every couple of months high tides and a heavy flow in the river see this part of the path closed with water up and into the car-parks. On a hot day it can get a real mangrove smell but I use it as one of my main walks two to three times a week.

Late afternoon sun streams through the framework of the Kurilpa Bridge heading into the city.

I wasn't a fan of the bridge originally, it reminded me of knitting needles stuck in the river. ( and the city end is very odd, a strange height over the roadway, and no natural connection to the riverside walkway on that end) – but it has grown on me.

I'm always amazed when I find a slice of Brisbane that I've been walking past for years. Miller Park runs between William Street and Queens Wharf Road, both streets I would walk at least part of the way down each week. I think the fact that the park is next to the Commissariat Stores means your attention is drawn to this old building, but the park is a neat bit of greenery in the midst of the city.

I can't find much information about it, but suspect it was named after Lieut. Henry Miller who along with John Oxley set up the convict settlement of Redcliffe.
