Just over 13 years ago, I posted my first blog on WordPress, Memory motivation momentum.
During this time, I have changed employer twice, we tied the knot, and we moved home from Lewisham to Leichhardt to Morningside to Deception Bay to Hamilton.
We are happy where we are, so far.
We moved into our north facing ninth floor apartment on a chilly dreary Monday, two days ago.
This opaque view is taken from my sofa spot, gazing over Eagle Farm, beyond Morton Bay, towards the Pacific Ocean on the horizon.
The sun’s rise silhouettes the appendages of a dracaena gifted by Clarice in the year we arrived in Australia, 1998.
When thinking of Norse god, Thor, I imagine thunder and lightening storms. Yesterday morning, in contrast, the journey to the station was gloriously lit by a light orange, pink, pale blue, wispy grey dawn.
Below a shot of one of my favourite views from the station. Glimpses of the heavens reflected in Saltwater Creek surrounded by silhouetted trees.
As the sky lightened with deeper reds and golds, I took a picture near Petrie station.
At the end of the day, whilst awaiting the arrival of the 4:20 to carry me home, thinking again of Thor, I captured a view of the platform, steel rails, and wall opposite.
This morning I used the double exposure filter to overlay the images in Google Snapseed to create the top image. I like the result.
The rising sun heralds the arrival and departure of Brisbane bound commuters. Few appear to take notice of it or the surrounds.
Serpentine Saltwater Creek undulates through the North Lakes Environmental Reserve behind the train station towards Moreton Bay. It often breaks free of its banks.
The water results in a lush wetland ecosystem; home to gum trees, grasses, insects, 29 species of native birds, reptiles, eastern grey kangaroos, possums, and koalas.
Good morning

Sunrise behind Sydney CBD on Anzac Day washes Parramatta Road with golden light.
Anzac Day, 25 April marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.
Sydney Tower, aka Centrepoint, shimmers gold as the rising sun illuminates the city. As the Autumn sun sets the Tower appears to be etched into the sky. Taken from Catalina Restaurant, Rose Bay, Sydney, Australia.
