    What an astonishing place.

    Nope It's taken from a suburb to the south, 'Burleigh Heads', which is a bit further out from the actual city, but the person who took the photo (it isn't mine, found it on flickr) must have zoomed in super close.

    Nice Weather should be perfect then.

    Here's another one even further south

    Yep

    Btw, the tall building with the spire, is supposed to be the tallest residential tower in the world (or at least in the southern hemisphere).

    Canada went kind of crazy after Bell was able to lobby for a nationwide cap on bandwidth, no matter the provider. Luckily Canada came to its fucking senses, and its since been reversed.

    I wonder what Bitter's opinion is. I feel like the photo has been enhanced in some way, not a truely natural snapshot. Reminds me of the HDR work on this truck, also a real picture.

    ^^It does kinda look like it's been enhanced but the only thing I can point out is that it's been zoomed in on.
    This is the original link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leafypages/5260690954/ the photographer doesn't say anything.

    Just found two more from the same location, but different:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/dkitch/3372591848/ <--that's actually an awesome photo, either the photographer added in the mist, or it was just their day to capture it.
    Another one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/40893334@N05/3767749721/

    I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
    I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
    Which is what I am

    I aim at the stars
    But sometimes I hit London

    Thats Kevin Butler, perhaps Sony only non-failed marketing attempt, retwitting the PS3 master key, that Sony's legal department is hell bent on destroying.

    Doesn't look like HDR, more like normal contrast and colour saturation enhancement.

    Ah. Heh.

    Looked really gruesome for a minute, p'ticularly for young'ins propensity for chewing on anything they come across.
