Surfers & Q1 @ night.

LA53R · August 2nd, 2005, 01:06 AM

Seen this in the construction/projects forum Q1 thread and thought it deserved a spot here, Taken by defec8R.
Magnificent!!!

Wow! I need to go see this for myself sometime

nerazzurri · August 2nd, 2005, 01:08 AM

wow thats incredible!

CULWULLA · August 2nd, 2005, 01:10 AM

do you think the mighty Q and Surfers paradise will emulate a NYC skyline in years to come?
i think with the giant towers of Circle and Soul coming up and Meritons 300m tower it should start to create a big city feel.
Q1 is now 3.5m higher then Chrylser bldg. amazing!

LA53R · August 2nd, 2005, 01:11 AM

The cranes are Circle, so this exact shot in 12 months with coc complete would be awesome.

Q1 after a big nite out.

Love the lighting - it looks very New Yorkish.

uewepuep · August 2nd, 2005, 02:12 AM

Great photo.

Grollo · August 2nd, 2005, 02:42 AM

Looks fantastic.
Similar to the lighting scheme on 120 Collins:

Grollo · August 2nd, 2005, 02:46 AM

Wouldn't the lighting be really annoying for the people living in the upper level apartments. I know staying at Crown that you can really notice the outside building lighting inside the rooms which is fine when you are staying in a hotel room but if I had to live there it would get annoying after a while.

could save you some $$ on you own power bill and then just close the blinds when you want 8)

I'd be more pissed about all the insects it attracts + birds = bird shit everywhere.

LOL - Birds don't fly at night - try bats instead. There is a tower in Sydney with the top lit and always has Bats flying around it at night, can't remember the name?

***Oriolus*** · August 2nd, 2005, 04:39 AM

If I remember correctly they don't use the lights on top of GPT very often anymore because of the mess gulls make. I think they were roosting on the roof???

A lot of birds choose the warmth, light & safety of the city to roost at night and anywhere they sleep will be covered in crap pretty soon.

CULWULLA · August 2nd, 2005, 04:50 AM

i think the lighting will go off anyhow at 12midnight or there abouts.

sirbugalugs · August 2nd, 2005, 06:14 AM

Very nice shot.

zulu69 · August 2nd, 2005, 09:01 AM

Wow. Probably the best crown lit in Oz, perfectly suits it's surroundings.

They do in Melbourne - around the arts centre spire and bolte bridge (probably to two strongest lit structures in the city) you will see hundreds of seagulls going round in endless circles- must be a religious thing
