This past weekend was a weekend filled with nasty storms. 2 of these storms were called super cells. This one was taken on Sunday heading straight for the northern suburbs of Brisbane. It brought with it hail stones the size of golf balls and even larger in some places. It was also a king tide and I must say that I have never seen the water so high around this old jetty. ps if you look closely there is a pelican at the end of the pylons. He just sat there taking it all in :)
"Blue Hour" on Raby Bay
Cleveland's lighthouse looking fabulous in twilight
Cleveland Point in the dead of winter.
I don't usually do panoramas mainly because I never think of it so this is a little different for me. I loved this sunset and I think it looks beautiful in the panorama mode :)
This old jetty is very rapidly deteriorating but the camera still loves her :)

As I was walking to this spot this afternoon, the waves were washing up on the shore and this sunset was happening before me and I felt a sense of pride and happiness that I live here in Cleveland © 2014 Beth Wode Photography - All rights reserved
This old lighthouse is renowned for its hexagon shape and is an icon for the Redlands
South East Queensland has been hammered by vicious storms all weekend. This one was to the north over Caboolture and Bribie Island this afternoon. Some areas have had hail the size of golf balls. We have had no hail here in Cleveland but we have had torrential rain. My gutters couldnt cope and I woke this morning to find water in my house. Thankfully we have had no damage.
The air was thick with smoke as I headed to Cleveland Point this particular afternoon. It was due to the terrible fires on North Stradbroke Island that were burning for over a week. The smoke in the air made for a pretty picture and I was lucky that this pelican was obliging. © 2014 Beth Wode Photography - All rights reserved
I was meeting friends at Cleveland Point and found myself 10 minutes ahead of them so I did a little detour and fired off a couple of shots before meeting up with them. There were no clouds but blue hour is always pretty :) ps the lights on the far right are the Port of Brisbane
I finished work at 5pm on Friday afternoon and saw that the sunset was going to be a good one so I headed to Raby Bay which is only a 5 minute drive from work. I am so pleased that I live AND work in such a beautiful place.
It was 1 degree when I shot this - I had been in the water photographing the mangroves before I shot this - I could no longer feel my feet lol am I crazy or what?

I know that this is not a sail boat but i love the quote for its inspirational message. This was taken just after a thunderstorm passed over yesterday afternoon. The sky was amazing, to the west was this and to the east were rainbows :)

sunrise at Cleveland Point - taken away from the sunrise facing west towards Ormiston.
It was a lovely sunset tonight so I decided to head down to Raby Bay. I was rewarded with great reflections and pretty colours.
I left work on Wednesday afternoon to be greeted by this! I raced across to the harbour to try and capture as much of this beautiful sunset as I could.
sundown in Cleveland facing the east.

Blue hour in Cleveland. I love this old jetty. The property where this is located has just been sold. Sadly she has now been torn down so I am glad that I got to photograph her.
Break of day over Raby Bay Harbour. What a peaceful and calm way to start a day.
I have to say its not easy getting up at 3.45am . I could have easily gone back to sleep but something was beckoning me so I made the effort to get up and this was my reward..what a beautiful way to start my day :)
