Seen on a walk along the South Bank of Brisbane these perfect reflections of the Bougainvillea flowering over an arch.
But there is something else in the reflection. Can you see what it is?
Then I turned round to photograph the real thing. The towering eye in the sky. I remember smaller versions when I was a child and then they were called Ferris wheels. and they were in all the fair grounds.
The Bougainvillea is past it’s best but it still is a bright splash of colour.
Well Christmas is over for another year. I hope you are all enjoying holiday time now.

Dawn from ” The day after” has a challenge to find windows and post them each week. I love these Word Press challenges they open your eyes to the world around you. I also enjoy looking through all the other interesting and varied windows from around the world. Go to Dawns link, you may have some windows you can share with us.
I would love to ride it but I couldn’t. I just couldn’t! 😦

i did! i tried for several hours to comment (left the page on the screen) and the connection was too slow to get it through. now it’s sunrise, and i’m replying on the drop-down comment box!
i had an old isuzu trooper that rolled me across rugged mountains and around mud slides, and i still miss that old burro! we’re lucky that our vehicles took us on many adventures!
thanks for the heads up, just in case i had missed it!

It is quite strange how when we spend so much time in and with a vehicle they almost take on a human persona. I even used to talk to Matilda !!!!
