Hitachi Lights

All night images I have ever taken of the city have a bright light showing. Mostly the light is white, sometimes though they have been flashing red.

The weather indicating lights on top of the Hitachi building at 239 George Street, corner of Adelaide, for the past few decades was turned off on 23 November.

Reason cited were environmental.

Incidentally the lights were remote controlled with information from the Bureau of Metorology updated at four intervals during the day.

Weather forecast were a relatively easy to comprehend selection of white and red lights.

Goodbye to a Brisbane icon.
