so this morning, Brisbane was blanketed in a thick cloud of fog, making it impossible for the planes to land and take off.. so instead they diverted the flights into a holding pattern, out this way! :) the sky must have been pretty cold up there this morning, cause they left behind some unusual contrails :D

I sent them into the courier mail , Brisbanes newspaper, and one of them was used in a story!!! :D
