Beauty and the Beast - a photo on Flickriver

            A bit of a deviation from my current series at Winton to catch a couple of time relevant scenes. It's Jacaranda time around South East Queensland at the moment and these very popular trees are just coming up to their best. At the same time, a lot of the north side of Brisbane is having its annual kerb side clean up so there is a large quantity of bigger rubbish waiting to be picked up for the tip. We noticed this rather incongruent scene in the suburb of Zillmere with a beautiful Jacaranda shading (if it was a sunny day but it isn't) a large pile of rubbish.

I don't know if other cities and towns have these kerb side clean ups, Brisbane has had them for many years. It is really sad though I find, so much waste, a throw away society if ever there was one with the weekend before the pick-up week being a constant stream of utes and small trucks cruising around looking for stuff that can be reused. At least it hopefully will be reused! The thing I hate to see most is the enormous amount of recyclable metal that gets tossed out and probably buried because they just don't have enough people to sort it.

Camera phone shot on the run!
