So at the end of a long work day, I was just waiting for a friend to finish up before we hit the long road back to Brisbane. I decided to opt for some more fading light pics but this time at a different body of water at the university. Unlike the lake which has been part of the landscape for almost as long at the university has been around, this feature, closer to the buildings, is much newer. In fact, it was constructed just last year.
Some call it a water reticulation project, some call it a duck pond, some call it the Vice Chancellor's wa...; no, let's not go there dear reader, money and budgets are sensitive issues at work at the moment; something for the 'other' blog.
Look, it looks like a pond, sounds like a pond, must be a pond, of sorts. (Eventually some ducks arrived.) But I guess the pond life is taking its time to grow accustomed to it. That's not to say there weren't some interesting things going on there, if you looked.
Some stillness (no, dear reader, not 'stagnant'...), some ripples...

But quite a magnificent way to end the day. Quite a few of us on social media remarked about the end of this day...

| End of the day greets the night |

| ...a little more intensely |
Some days, everything else fades to grey in comparison.
