Queenslanders, the days are getting shorter, the nights are creeping in… (We promise this isn’t the start of a horror film.)

It’s just autumn doing its thing – less daylight, and more excuses to be in your PJs by 6pm.

And honestly, there’s something a bit magical about those cooler sunsets. Less glare, more glow.

This golden-hour view of Brisbane was taken from the South Brisbane unit of Stefan Ackerie, the man behind the Stefan hairdressing chain. His colourful salons have been a Queensland staple for decades.

Hope your weekend is as chill as this view. 🌄
