Light magic Part II: walking cliche

Good real-estate with a view is a hard find in Brisbane. Some people will go to extreme lenthgs for it.
So, we were on our way home from the brewery, via Birdwood Terrace, which leads straight to the mountain. The light and sky were still utterly perfect, so I asked Alex if we could head up the mountain. As we turned onto Rouen Road the green, green grass in the old Toowoong Cemetary caught me eye, so we parked up on the hill and went for a wander.

I don't usually hang about by the gravestones, being the living, breathing, sunlight loving type, but I do find them interesting places to emplore. Cemetaries can give you a quick insight into the history of an area, as well as a great illustration of the power of nature over man-made structures. I'd only been to the Toowong cemetary once before, for a very quick look around, and with the deep blue skies, verdant lawn and city views, the day was ripe for an exploration of death. Those of you more at home with headstones might like to join me on what has to be one of the more cliched photo missions I've attempted. ( Ghost busting? )
