Winter chill

It's currently winter in Queensland. During a cold spell the morning temperature is often below 10 degrees and sometimes as cold as 3 degrees! The daytime temperatures usually rise above 20 degrees.

A crispy morning.

The variation between day and night is large.

Our building is quite new, so it doesn't get below 15 inside.

The traditional Queenslanders however have no insulation. You sometimes can see through floors and walls.

Our local markets were closed as it was too windy.

Some trees drop their leaves. And blossom.

Others grow fruit.

People's attitude towards the winter vary - on one side, they rightly complain about the cold. But still they wear flip flops.

A cold day at the Uni. The wind can be chilly.

At the same time it can quickly get really hot.

Enjoying the sunshine.

Many restaurants don't have any indoor facilities and survive all year all good. This cafe is on a bridge.

This guy was freezing and so had his hood up.

Tattoos are only visible without pants. These kind of big leg tattoos are a common sight in Brisbane.

It wasn't that hot!

Barefoot surfing music in midwinter. "The wet fish" sounds like The Shadows. 

Good night! Don't get cold!

Check the weather, gear up accordingly and enjoy!
