A Metropolis Awakens

A late-summer sunrise.

This photo was so exhausting. After staying up all night, I left home at about 3am and the walk took me around 2 hours. I spent an hour or so shooting and didn't bring any money for food or drink, so I was well and truly stuffed by the time I finished. When I got to the bottom of Mt Coot-tha, I passed out at a picnic table for an hour or so before walking home.

I've since moved, but at the time I took this I was living just near the tallest building that you see there on the left.
