Hazy - you can just barely see Connecticut on this day

Looking Down - I couldn't get closer to the bluff as I was behind a second fence here, so it isn't quite what I wanted to get.

A few more!

Farmers Market:

This is a farmers market which is held in the middle of the CBD in Brisbane every Wednesday. I stumbled on it yesterday when I went in to the city for lunch with a friend!

Hammock:

Not immediately obvious as a hammock, but this stall had loads for sale!!

Americana:

Unfortunately I didn't have any - I was going elsewhere for lunch!!

Looking up:

Looking up at the clock tower of Brisbane City Hall, which is under major renovations at the moment.

A few more!

Farmers Market:

This made me wonder (how do I say this?) - is money in Australia worth about the same as money in the US? Just because I saw some similar watermelons yesterday and they were about the same price!

You will have to go back another day!

Good to see a few have got the new avatar in their signatures!

Money in Australia is about the same as money in the US....But I was wondering if the price of your watermelons was in lbs or kgs.....

Definitely lbs

 

[PrincessInOz]

Definitely lbs

Was watermelon $4/lb scared1 or about $2/lb?

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Was watermelon $4/lb scared1 or about $2/lb?

I saw some $4 for a quarter (of a whole watermelon, in a supermarket), like in the pic (didnt' see kg in pic till you mentioned it). I have no idea how many lbs that is. But that was high. I get a whole watermelon every week at a fruit stand I go to for $6, sometimes $5 depending who's there.

I am never going to complain when I pay $4 for a whole watermelon again. Although the price of gas to get to Lancaster probably makes the watermelon $8 each. OK not really, I go with my mom and she always drives.

I will have more pics this weekend. I have to find them. I know I had them in my computer and they aren't there. Maybe a pic of my computer for haunted.

Hi Linda! There are about 2lbs to a kilo, so our $4 per kilo would equate to about $2 per lb. They have been transported about 300 kms (approx 190 miles) to get to Brisbane - don't know whether that makes a difference!! We are not really in watermelon season at the moment, but winter so far has been relatively mild, so that might be why they are at the market!
And I will try that pizza on another day! It looked quite good!!

Jumping in here finally! I've been dealing with memory issues on my laptop but now have things moved over to an external HD so I can finally work on my photos from our California trip from the last week of June.

But I do have a few from a couple of months before that fit the categories. I'll start with those.
