Yesterday was one of those frustrating days that whenever I touched my computer it kind of went BLAAAAAAAH at me and refused to make any sense, I demonstrated my 'superiority' by calling it all the rude names I could think of in a humungous tirade..this went on for quite some time until P couldn't take it anymore and removed me from the vicinity while he spent most of the day sorting the problem.. All fixed, but it was early evening before I could get down to choosing a post for today.. I decided to go with some last pictures from Australia Day before the fireworks began and believe it or not these three very different skies were all happening at the same time. There was a small aircraft flyby and they circled the Bell Tower several times before heading back to the landing strip.Just to the right of the above scene the sun was going down over Kings Park below, and.....
Behind on the city side this is what was going on and what was responsible for the rain that we had just before the fireworks started..I really liked the way the combination of lights made this tall glass building, which I can't remember the name of at the moment (help anyone looking in from Perth!) look so dramatically blue.. Hope you have a peaceful day.....
so glad you are among us, pal-
ReplyDeleteand I love your shots - so atmospheric!

ReplyDeleteSome wild colors in these photos. That first one is quite unique, I think...what a great capture with that little plane making a name for itself in that orange smoke/cloud...
ReplyDeleteSorry about your computer and glad it got fixed but it led to this post and that's a good thing.
And you're a funny writer!
Can't help with the building as your photos are not visable to me!! **** (BTW not my son but my grandson.)
ReplyDeleteMarvelous captures, beautiful skies and colors and a terrific post for the day! Who would have thought that a "machine" could so totally disrupt ones day when it "misbehaves"????? Isn't it great that we have a sense of humor!! Well, most of the time!

Life is great, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteFirst picture is indeed incredible ! Please have a kind Tuesday ahead.
Great shots Grace. Beautiful light.
ReplyDeleteFabulous sky shots Grace. Love those little planes circling the tower!
ReplyDeleteGrace, you are one talented photographer, and Perth is one amazing city. I will have to take my son there one day. I have always wanted to visit Australia (well, at least some of it, given the sheer size of your country!)

Love your photos - and enjoyed your description of what happens when machines go bad! You won in the end though...nice work! Happy Monday evening (from the east coast of the US)...Tuesday to you, I believe!
ReplyDeleteA wild collection today. The iridescent blue on the glass of the third photo is my favorite. (Yay for spell check; my effort at iridescent wasn't as good as Mr. Google's.)
ReplyDeleteNothing more frustrating than computer problems! Nice collection of pics today. Any chance you watched the men's tennis final the other nigh/morning? Wow. Wow. Wow!

ReplyDeleteBonza photos. I to hate computer gremlins and start screaming some colourful words at it when it won't do what its told :-).
ReplyDeleteWonderful skies.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it must have been humid hot, which is what would make me retreat to a fridge. Absolutely wonderful shots all three, the first one is almost abstract!
ReplyDeleteFirst shot reminds meof King Kong fighting against planes from Empire State building! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat skies! the last one is very dramatic.
The planes look like little mosquitoes, what an amazing sight!
ReplyDeleteThe first picture is really cool, I love those small planes which are drawing into the sky.
