The view from my "office"

[JessicaTam]

Not my office, just passing by.



Fraser Island, QLD

Well, had you been stopping then there would have been a story...

Well, had you been stopping then there would have been a story...

...do you mean, had she been taken there, the story would have created even more interest

There are at least 4 ways my comment can be taken (passing by on a visit to Fraser Island, visiting someone who works there, visiting someone who was cooling their heels in there or been taken there herself ). Knowing @JessicaTam for some years now, I'd offer up the first option as the most likely. But she left the door ajar, so I thought I'd be cheeky and rattle it

Meanwhile back on topic, a dreary day or constant rain in Brisbane (been that way in the northern suburbs on and off since ~10pm last night). Day spent in the office with my faithful assistant (but she does no work):

How about a sunrise? Somewhere over the PRC earlier this morning.

Earlier on in the flight, a place I'm sure a lot of people here have visited. Just east of Helsinki.

 

[QF WP]

Tallinn?? If so, that's on my bucket list after @NM all those years ago did a TR on visiting there.

Another rotten day in Paradise. Paradise Gorge, E. Tas, named in the colonial days for the horror stretch of 'road' there.

 

[NM]

Tallinn?? If so, that's on my bucket list after @NM all those years ago did a TR on visiting there.

Tallinn would be south from Helsinki, rather than east. I assume the "office views" are still in Finland.

I was sure that it wasn't Tallinn by the shape, and like you said Tallinn is south rather than east. A quick google look confirms what city I though they might show - St Petersburg. The first couple of photos seem to be of Kotlin Island - Kronstadt - famous for the "Kronstadt Rebellion" in 1921.

A couple of my relatives dropped in for a visit yesterday. Very windy over the last few days so lots of leaves in the pool.

Some might recognise this office in Canberra. View from the corridor, Park Hyatt.

 

[Eija]

St Petersburg - on my bucket list. Have friend there. But, we always seem to catch up in Helsinki.

Yes, it's St Petersburg, this is the first time I've been able to photograph it.

 

[RooFlyer]

Yes, it's St Petersburg, this is the first time I've been able to photograph it.

Swoon. My favourite city - absolutely top of the list.

 

[Major]

Yes, it's St Petersburg, this is the first time I've been able to photograph it.

It was interesting when it was Leningrad in 1970

 

[ellen10]

Yes we were there in 1982, very different then as well.

 

[get me outta here]

The Stonewall uprising was a series of violent demonstrations by members of the LGBTQ+ community against police who had raided the Stonewall Inn – one of the few LGBTQ+-friendly bars in the city at the time – in Manhattan, New York City in June 1969. The uprising proved to be a monumental catalyst for the gay liberation movement, and is widely considered to be one of the most important events in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in the USA and around the world.
New York City is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising this year by illuminating the city skyline in rainbow throughout the month of June. Iconic buildings like One World Trade Centre, the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden and more will feature breathtaking LGBTQ+-inspired projections and lights until the end of the month.

All the ducks in a row this morning, except for the ugly duckling SH337

Ehh, it's OK. If you do get the chance head down to Parnu too; that's a pretty cool little beach town.

This is the best I can do for a sunset today...... another day in paradise.....


Hiding behind the building was a bright orange blurry sun, just like you're used to in Asia. By the time I got around it was too hidden. Still in Gurgaon, India.
