Brisbane skyscrapers just visible above thick layer of fog Wedensday

Skyscrapers were barely visible above a thick layer of fog that shrouded Brisbane’s city on Wednesday.

Spectacular photos taken in the Queensland capital showed fog blanketing the city and as far west as Ipswich, 45km from the central business district.

The fog reduced visibility in the city down to 500 metres, prompting a warning to motorists to drive cautiously.  

Despite thick fog shrouding much of the city, Brisbane Airport told Daily Mail Australia it was not impacted and flights were not delayed. 

Many Brisbane residents woke early on Wednesday to capture remarkable images of the fog before it dissipated. 

The fog made way for beautiful, sunny conditions by mid-morning on Wednesday, with temperatures reaching 21C.
