A stroll through some of my fav spots in South Brisbane.
The scrap metal "Roos" are the result of a recent push by the Brisbane City Council for what they call "public art". Art that, instead of living in an art gallery, lives out on the streets among the people. They were created by local artist Christopher Trotter, who specialises in sculpture using scrap metal.

The Queen has listened to the harrowing stories of victims of the deadly Queensland floods during a day trip to the state capital Brisbane. The January 2011 floods, were the worst natural disaster to hit Queensland for almost 40 years. At the height of the crisis, three-quarters of the state were declared a disaster area.
My name is Tania de Almeida and I love photography.
Storytelling within a single frame- that is what photography is to me and what I try to do with every shot. It can be a quiet moment between two people, the way the light falls through a window or a celebration among friends & family.
I am constantly documenting life. It is no more than one-second of life at the time it takes to click the shutter, and what is forever frozen is timeless, that’s what draws me to photographs. We as people can’t live forever, but it seems as though the images do.
There's hardly anything I enjoy more than translating the world around me into photographs. There's beauty to be found in everything and everyone, and I love the way a camera gives me a license to explore that.
