Bright: Sunset at its best

Queen’s Day Long Weekend

In Aussie, employees go on “leave”. Me? I go on “vacations”. Sounds so much more positive, no? This past Monday is Queen’s Day, which means…Long WEEKEND!!!

Road trip!

Lucky me, A.O. invites me to join her and her friends on a road trip to Bright, a city about 4-5 hours drive away from Melbourne. It is a town where skiiers dwell before going up to Falls Creek or Mt Hotham ski resorts for a run down the slopes. It has just transitioned from autumn to winter, so there is not enough snow to go skiing.

So, what’s there to see in Bright?

Perfect lighting for those long exposures.

The last bit of yellow and red autumn leaves.

But, the highlight for me is definitely watching the sunset on Mt Buffalo.

Moments like these are magical, aren’t they?

 

Thanks to A.O, Boss, Karl, Fab, and Princess for creating and sharing these moments.
