City of Jacarandas
Posted 27 October 2008 in Random Photographs by Catriona
Brisbane really is the city of jacarandas. This time of year, this suburb, at least, is entirely purple.
And, not having done my undergraduate degree at The University of Queensland, I’m spared the sense of creeping horror that they evoke in those who have, to whom jacarandas mean exams and final assessment.
I just love the colour.

There’s an avenue near our place in Forest Lake which is incredible at around about 5:10 – 5:15 in the afternoon when the sun gets on them at a certain angle. It would make an awesome photo but I’m always in the car at the time and last week when I went back there to take the photo, the light was gone. I’ve been taking jacaranda photos like mad as they seem to be really going for it this year.

They are glorious this year, aren’t they? But I suppose the only way to get a photo of the avenue would be to drive out one weekend afternoon—assuming there’s anywhere nearby to park the car.
