The Perils of Google Earth |
| Description: |
Prior to my latest trip to Brisbane I used Google Earth to find new photo locations. The rail bridge over the Brisbane River looked like a really nice location, except that, on arrival, it was obvious that the bridge structure obscurred the lower third of the train. This is the result- an EMU headed out of town during the afternoon commuter rush. (the bridge is pretty though!) |
