We celebrated Mr Fudge's 70th (!!!) birthday on Friday and as a special surprise our daughter and her family in Sydney booked us a room at our favourite hotel in Brisbane and a table at a very classy restaurant a short stoll from the hotel. Needless to say, it was a painless experience and one which we will not forget until dementia kicks in.
The weather was stunning, resulting in plenty of opportunities for shadow shots. This was the view from our hotel room.
The late afternoon threw beautiful blue shadows across the pool. Autumn is so hard to take in Brisbane.
After a buffet breakfast the next morning we stepped out of the dining room straight onto the river walk.
Why can't every weekend be like this?
To feast your eyes on some stunning shadow shots, visit Hey Harriet - you won't regret it.

The Sydney waterfront is absolutely beautiful, the views up high leaving imposing shadows on the water. The pool has neat shadows, too. The riverwalk shadows are neat, chain and vertical fence a mix of curvy and angular. Why indeed can't weekends all look like this??
And YOU got to celebrate too! :)
Love the shadows on the water. Very nice.

Aaaaahhhh! I'm happy looking at these shots! That over head of the pool is a winner. What a lovely, lovely Autumn day. We're in the throes of spring here...

I love Brisbane, and Autumn must be such a lovely time to be there,not too
hot. Your shots a beautiful, love the river walk shadows.
I am sure that you both had a great time.
Happy belated birthday to Mr Fudge! What a lucky pair you are! I'm trying to figure out where you stayed. Stamford Plaza maybe? I've never stayed there myself but I've stalked a few rockstars there. A long time ago of course when I was young and silly :)
You asked where Thompson's Point was? It's on Macleay Island.
I love all of these, especially the tall shadows on the water. Nice catch. And yes, it does look like a very nice day.
Wonderful shadows found on a wonderful weekend! The river walk looks like a lovely place to stroll.
That was a great birthday present for Mr. Fudge.
