Seasons Greetings to all. As a few flakes of snow was last reported in #Brisbane in 1958, a liquid form of water was easier to find. Tsukubai (蹲踞) traditionally used for cleansing before entering a place of reflection. Here's to a calm and peaceful New Year ahead.

#ThursdayPurple (Or is it #Crimson ...?) Good morning from the future! A Desert Rose, from the Mount Coot-tha gardens. Originally African, it thrives on #Brisbane 's easily achieved six hours of sunlight a day, just needing a roof to keep the rain away. #canonphotography

One less crane in Brisbane. Definitely a "big hammer" job, unlikely to affect Brisbane's standing in the national crane index. No one told me at school I could do this for a job, although my vertigo could make it a bit of a challenge. #Brisbane #Cranes #canonphotography

Brisbane, tropical sun, snorkeling and rainforests. Also... Renos - this was a longer one, but Shower Dr had it all in hand.

Japanese Garden at QUT campus in Toowoomba. Hard to see a garden bridge without thinking of Monet, his birthday today. He never travelled the 16,000km from France here, nor the 10,000km to Japan to see a 反り橋 (soribashi = moon bridge) in situ. #canonphotography #Brisbane.

Visualization in control rooms for decision making It was common to build control rooms with huge screens (eg Queensland Rail & UK NESO energy operator) Great for demonstrations but given the desktop screens are closer and higher resolution when is the main screen really used?

Google's AI visa advice for China is simply wrong. China can grant a 10 day transit visa. The legal implications of believing Google's AI and arriving in China assuming 30 days are not positive. AI making everday life harder, @garymarcus www.gov.uk/foreign-trav...

Key finding: "most current approaches to economic assessments of impacts of #climate change do not reflect the severity of consequences that are suggested by the latest physical climate science & evidence on impacts" 😬
