View from the Terrace

Brisbane is such a beautiful city and there really is a lot to write about. I just don't seem to have the time - what a poor excuse. Anyway, we have managed to find a place to live and this is the view off of our balcony. Amazing isn't it? The only downside is that there is a fair amount of road noise from that bridge if you are outside. But with the door closed - hardly anything. And with this view, who is complaining? Not me.

The bridge is Captain Cook bridge and the land mass across the river is called the CBD - Central Business District. The river snakes throughout the city and divides it into smaller communities. The lighted cliffs at the far right are on Kangaroo Point. Just across the river from us, the green area is the Botanical Gardens. I work in one of the high rises on the right side of the CBD. It is visible in the picture but not prominent. The lighted bridge in the background on the right is the Story Bridge. The large bridge on the left in the background is Victoria Bridge and the small pedestrian bridge in the foreground on the left is the Friendship Bridge. That is how I walk to work. It is a nice place to live...
