My Brisbane 16 - Post Office Square & GPO

Back into the city on a beautiful autumn day today and time to get a shot of Post Office Square at lunchtime with the GPO as the backdrop.
Steps alongside the silver circular "thing" lead down to a number of lower level stores including, well at least 10 years ago, an excellent pie shop and an equally excellent kebab shop. I was a frequent patron of both back in the bad old days ie when I worked.

I am very busy at present and consequently am way behind on my comments on your pics. Unfortunately, things are unlikely to get better for some time. My apologies but I do look at everyone's postings.

Neat photo, love the way people relaxing and interacting.

[Tony]

Neat capture of that well utilized public space.

[Rick Schies]

Well that is an interesting set-up. Surprised they do not have water problems with the open stairs

@digitalrn The rain may never fall till after sundown
By eight the morning fog must disappear . . .
I've never paid attention Rick but I presume there is appropriate drainage. I've been down there plenty of times when it was raining and never had to resort to swimming and the kebabs weren't at all soggy.

Hey thats a real action shot Poppo...you can feel the vibe of the lunchtime crowd...did you grab a pie....cheers

[Poppo Livy]

@tellefella No I had already grabbed one from another of my old time favourite pie shops in the city.

Wow what a beautiful day. Maybe we should move to Brisbane, it has gone pretty chilly here the last couple of days. Real deck chairs too. David and I were only saying a few days ago that you don't see proper deck chairs any more. Now I know why, they are all in Queensland.

Lovely to see everyone out enjoying the park at lunch.

[Richard Hoeg]

You're giving my a geography lesson! :-)

[Lisa Poland]

Fantastic view!

[Poppo Livy]

@onewing @teiko @richardhoeg @homeschoolmom
Thanks for your comments everyone
@richardhoeg Yeah but mine's not nearly as interesting as your's.

I never imagined when joining 365 that I'd end up falling in love with a city so far away. Brisbane has such character and charm, at least according to the way you're presenting it (and I like your view very much).

[Margaret Pengelly]

The weather is certainly bringing the crowds out to enjoy the sunshine. Know that busy feeling well but took time this morning to stroll through your My Brisbane series and what a joyful stroll it was. Must go and stay there a while. We seem to have only been passing through for about the last ten years.

Love the old architecture contrasting with the high rises. Where are the ibis Poppo ?

[Susan C Clow]

Another great shot. Looks like everyone is enjoying the sun and being outside.

[Diane]

Great capture of everyone having their lunch in a lovely spot in the city!

[Lee-Ann]

Awesome capture...looks like a busy place

[Shirley Banford]

Excellent capture of these loungers. Great scene.

[Denise Wood]

Lovely sunny spot :)
