I said earlier I took photos of the planes with my 3DS, and now I'm back at my laptop I can finally show them to you. They aren't great, but if you wanted good photos you should've asked my dad.

This was the first one. You can't tell, but it's really big. Actually, you probably can tell because it's the only one I got a clear photo of.

This plane may not look like it but it is the loudest thing I've ever heard. It's a rip-the-sky-apart sort of noise. I don't know how people watched it without ear protection.

If you look very closely at the second photo you'll see that smudge there is the plane flying towards the Story Bridge

This helicopter I got more videos than photos of, and honestly that was me compensating for not blowing out my microphone with the previous plane (unfortunately you cannot see the video, because I don't know how to convert the file to .mp4).

We are about a tenth of the way toward the matching goal of $3k for the sanctuary’s fire insurance! Thank you to all of you who have donated so far! The River Fire was one of the scariest experiences of our lives, and we know how important it is to have a strong evacuation plan in place, incredible volunteers at the ready, and insurance to protect the property and animal buildings. If you need to make your charitable donations before the year ends for tax purposes, we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit and your gift will be doubled up to $3000! #thankyou #matching #riverfire #animalsanctuary #loveoneanother (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmr6rp7S_TG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In 1988 before we had keyboard warriors and image manipulation, Dale Snodgrass flew an F-14 down the side of the USS America. Shot by an official navy photographer on film with a 400mm lens, the image looks freakily close to the aircraft carrier. In fact the F-14 Tomcat was about 300 metres out to sea. This famous American image illustrates the same effect that is evident in both Nino Lo Guidice and David Kapernick's shots of the F/A-18F Super Hornet captured at Brisbane's Riverfire Event. It's a text book example of image compression when shooting with telephoto lenses. Fortunately back then in 1988 when the image was first published, there were no backyard forensic image experts crying "fake". Oh how the world has changed.

Skole uge 6 og forårets ankomst <3

Så er jeg halvvejs i mit semester her i Brisbane, da jeg i denne uge færdiggjorde uge 6 ud af 13 skole uger. Det er lidt syret at tænke på. Jeg kan da også mærke at skolen begynder at spidse mere til, hvilket også påvirker min dagligdag.

Denne uge har nemlig stået på rigtigt meget kemi. Jeg har et fag der hedder Process System Analysis, hvor vi har et stort projekt for til d 15. september, som tæller 30% af min karakter. Det er et gruppeprojekt, og her arbejder jeg sammen med helt almindelige australske studerende, hvilket betyder, at de altså ikke "bare" skal bestå alle deres kurser, men faktisk gerne vil klare sig godt. Dette er altså det kursus, jeg bruger mest tid på. Dog er det også et ret spændende kursus, så tiden er vel brugt! I får lige lidt billeder, af det jeg sidder og roder med i dette kursus, og nogle billeder af kemiingeniør bygningen, som altså kun må bruges af kemiingeniør studerende. Der har været mange kontroverser om denne bygning, da der er mange der mener den er grim, og at dens lokaler er irriterende. Dog synes jeg den er meget flot, og at den har de fedeste studie omgivelser. Måske jeg er lidt biased :)))

Der har da også været lidt tid til hygge denne uge. I torsdag var der fodbold turnering på campus, hvor nogle fra vores gruppe af udvekslingsstuderende stillede op. Det var en 5 mands turnering, og vores hold kom videre fra gruppespillet, men røg desværre ud i første knock out kamp. Det var dog vildt fedt at se dem spille, og vi var massere der kom og heppede på dem!

Vi tog nemlig en enkelt overnatning i Noosa fra fredag til lørdag. Noosa en en meget turistet kystby med lækker strand og lidt nationalpark. Det var en hyggelig tur, men jeg kunne godt mærke, at den stemning der er i Noosa, nok ikke lige er mig. En overnatning var nok :))

Vi fik dog gået en rigtigt flot vandretur som først gik langs kysten og derefter igennem noget af det skov nationalparken bød på. Langs kysten fik vi set lidt delfiner og en skildpadde i vandet. Vi fik også krydset vej med en python, den første slange set i Australien. Den prøvede at krydse den trappe vi var på vej ned af. Virkelig fedt at se en slange så tæt på. Det var dog ikke den eneste slange vi fik set den dag. Vi stødte nemlig også ind i en døende havslange i strandkanten. Jeg tror det er en olivenhovedet havslange, men jeg ved det ikke helt. Vi prøvede at få den døende havslange tilbage i vandet, men det lykkedes ikke helt. Herefter kom der en australier over til os og sagde, at når havslanger bliver strandet på kysten, skal man lade dem blive på kysten. Der er en grund til, at den ikke selv kunne svømme væk. Det var lidt af en på opleveren.

Efter denne dejlige vandretur kørte vi tilbage på Brisbane, og for første gang siden vi har været i Australien, kunne vi køre ind i Brisbane uden trafik! Vi nåede derfor også lige akkurat at se fyrværkeri show over en af Brisbane flodens broer, som var startskudet på Brisbane Festival. Det var en meget skøn måde, at slutte dagen af på! (Søg på Riverfire Brisbane hvis i vil se det vilde show).

Og en lille glædelig nyhed at slutte ugen af med, fik jeg merit godkendt alle de kurser som jeg tager her :)) Så skal de bare lige bestås, også er alt ellers godt med merit til DTU.

i like to do something different for my makeup every time, this time i did a lot more colour than i'm used to got to see the fireworks for riverfire from where i was at at work tonight

Riverfire.

The one weekend a year where everyone in Brisbane wants a ride in the fighter jets.

[who-the-fuck-is-sennalye]

okay so the fireworks were a little cool.

[ithinkthiswasabadidea]

okay but nothing really compares to the earth rumbling sound of a low-flyover fighter jet engine, and it sounded a hundred times more insane in person 🔥🔥🔥

this is a Royal Australian Air Force EA-18G Growler, flying over the city for Brisbane Festival's Riverfire event

Silence on Palestine in 'the Conversation'

The Conversation makes no mention of the Palestinians being killed each day by fighter planes like these. Israeli planes and heliocopters used by Israel on people in Gaza and the West Bank are provided parts made exclusively by Ferra Engineering in Tingalpa only a few kilometres from Riverfire along Maiwar (Brisbane River). Riverfire, sonic awe and the pornography of war Each September,…

My view of Brisbane Riverfire so far.

Have to sit because bad feet. At least I'm not missing many fireworks.

The buggers haven't set many off.

Big fan of your writing, really enjoying the Ridley and Alexia storyline right now!! Sorry for sounding like a creep… I see that you’re Australian I’m hoping to visit in June, is Brisbane a good place to be? I want to avoid the cold haha

Hey! Thanks for the support 💕

Ahah no, you’re fine. I was living in Brisbane for two years not long ago. Winter in Aus is June, July, August so in June expect it to be about 20°C. Can get chilly to our standards but usually in the morning and at night.

Rainy months are generally wet season which is summer so Dec-Feb.

Brisbane is more of a tropical climate so it gets quite humid compared to the other cities so if it does rain, it’s still warm enough to be outside without a jacket 😂

Queensland is beautiful though! I suggest going to see the Irwin’s at Australia Zoo, and checking out Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise) and Coolangatta ways too! 🐊

In Brisbane itself, I suggest making use of the ferries to get around, seeing Eat Street at night (fooooooood - can ferry to this), Southbank (streets of restaurants, theatre, Ferris wheel, lagoon etc). 🍦

(PS: if you were going in Aug, I’d recommend Riverfire on the 31st! They low-level fly jets and a C17 down the river at 250ft - and then have fireworks!) << I suggest looking this up - the C17 is insane. ✈️ 🎆
