Heres a couple of pics from my trip on the Gold Coast in sunny Queensland

This pic was taken using with my K20 + DA55-300.
It was taken from the 80th floor of the Q1 building in Surfers Paradise.
The road you see down the middle of the pic is where the American Indy car race will be run this weekend. My hotel looks directly down on the track from the 38th floor, unfortunately I won't be there when the race is on

This was my mode of transport around the city.
The push bike that is, NOT the Ferrari

And a visit to the Botanical Gardens with the wife.
Here she is contemplating.

She's obviously contemplating what she can do to get out of going on that b****y bike again.

You can almost sense it . . . "What was that Ferrari diver's name again? . . ."

Actually I sit on the crossbar with the camera and she does all the peddling.

Why do my shots look a little soft after I have posted them.:

Nah!!
If his wife sat on the crossbar, he'd have to pedal! Surely Clarky sits on the crossbar and his wife has to pedal!!

( I'll get me coat :arrow: )

(I'll have to learn to type faster..Clarky beat me to it! )
