"Sunset, Pandanus Viewing Area, Townsville Common."
A favourite retreat where sometimes I sits and photographs. And sometimes I just sits and thinks.
And when I just sits and thinks here my mind sometimes ventures down the odd rabbit hole. It might imagine how dinosaurs would love to have eaten the fruit of that pandanus in the foreground - a plant that has changed very little in 270 million years. It predates the Mesozoic era - 'the age of the dinosaurs' - by about 20 million years.
Or I might just sits and reflect on the reptilian ancestry of the birds - their closest living relatives the alligators and crocodiles, and back to the embryos of velociraptors.
Then there's the colours of the photons in the sky and which elements are releasing them . . .
And sometimes I just sits.
