Brisbane host free concerts each Tuesday at noon. This one was at the City Hall and was a two choral groups singing pop songs of yesteryear and some show tunes. We got there early just in case and tried three different seats until we got the seats that were just right. The songs were Oz themed, both the wizard of Oz and Australia (aka Oz). So they sane Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Defying Gravity, The Land Down Under, A Total Eclipse of the Heart, Backstage Romance and many others. The two choirs traded off singing and there was even some kazoo playing. We headed back to the place for lunch and then took a walk in the Botanical Gardens before the rain sent us packing. We had soup for dinner and then went back to the park for some eclipse watching. The viewing was complicated by clouds and we went back to the apartment. We saw the totality for a short while as it peeked out of the clouds.
The lights kept changing giving us a light show before the show
Folks shuffling in
The ceiling was also putting on a show
Very grand
Fine details everywhere
Cool lighting combo
The original drawings
We moved upstairs for better chairs
Both choirs started out together
We took a little walk
Snapped a picture as it started to rain
Eerily quiet building
A Synagogue
Very detailed façade
3-D design
Chicken for the soup and making the stock
Add the veggies, yum!
Right from the start the moon was in and out of clouds
I got a few clear shots early on
Lound noises behind us were from a brush-tailed possum
Off he goes
After thick clouds rolled in we went back to the apartment and it peeked out a few more times
A bit fussy as the camera had a hard time focusing
Totally eclipsed
The clouds rolled back in after this
