One Of The Few Still Flying

On this unusually grey Brisbane day, this noble Great Cormorant posed for a moment before flying off.

I, on the other hand, won't be flying anywhere as Qantas finally admitted defeat and cancelled my upcoming  flights to England until - who knows when? There are just one or two flights out with other carriers until they too dry up, but the cost is astronomical. So, I am stranded here in Australia, which isn't so bad except I will become in violation of my visitor VISA and be technically liable to fines and possibly imprisonment. One can only hope that the government here shows a little sympathy.
