We went, with thousands of others, to watch the Brisbane City Hall light up with a Christmas story. It was a beautiful sub tropical evening, after a hot and steamy day.
Being a techno-idiot, I have no idea how these amazing things are created, but I enjoyed watching the show. Here is our lovely City Hall, once the tallest building in the city.
Please note the solar powered Christmas tree.
…now for the pretty show.
Merry Christmas…I hope Santa is kind to all of you.
It looks superb! Merry Christmas, Debra!
