Surfers Paradise beach, Gold Coast - Australia
High Rise
uploaded by JulianP

View from the 40th floor of the Q1 Tower, the tallest building on the Gold Coast (70 floors)
   







So the name "Surfer's Paradise" was given as a decoy to keep the riffraff away from the real jewels. Clever Aussies! I've never heard the term "glass" used as a verb before. That does not sound pleasant.

I live a few beaches down in the REAL paradise, not the tourist jungle of Surfers. That's a great 4.30pm shot, you can see the tourists trying to find that last stretch of sand still in the sun. Then they'll go get drunk and rowdy and glass someone.

Any way you look at it, it's paradise ...

...and, Julian - all kidding aside, the photo really is awesome! The waves are extraordinary! Now I know why it's called Surfers Paradise. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Now I know what those poles are for...ooops, sorry, Hoosier said "exotic" ant farm...How about we get back to the King Kong sequel? I kind of like that idea....

Those are people down there? I thought this was a photo of an exotic ant farm!!!

Hairy or not, I'm giving your 5 stars just for your ability to climb a building naked!

Maybe if you waxed they wouldn't run away.

Back to the naked photographer theme. After zooming in at 400% I see the people continue to run away from you. Julian you might consider an audtion of a K Beach is awesome, looks like Miami Beach

GeneCPart2 - Pensacola, Florida , USA      5/19/2009 6:24 AM

Julian - let's just hope you're not as hairy as King Kong...

Jean-o - Pekin , USA      5/19/2009 4:38 AM

So how crowded is that beach when all the denizens of the high-rises descend on a nice day?

{continuing to ignore the naked photographer theme} Please tell me this picture was taken through a glass window. I'm getting vertigo from 9000 miles away.

I climbed on top of the building, like King Kong, chased by hundreds of angry women carrying dumbells...I definitely do NOT recommend taking photos on beaches while naked.
