This shot was taken from Gooseberry Hill which is a Perth suburb located in the Shire of Kalamunda and the site of Gooseberry Hill National Park, we were at the northern most highest feature of Statham's Quarry which is within park land. Perth Airport lies between here and the city, you can see to the right of the shot the airport tower. The haze was caused by a bush fire just off to the side of us, which didn't seem to bother the young couple sitting in the middle of the bush on a big rock admiring the view (maybe!!), can you see them down there! Ah! the joys of young love.....!!
Terrific captures, Grace! I can see the young couple! Ah, love!! What a view they have and what a view you captured! Enjoy your week -- well, what's left of it!

Love the views you captured! The young couple do have quite a view from their perch!
ReplyDeleteLove that first shot! Especially the way the city builds up towards the centre!
ReplyDeleteI am blinded by all that blue in the sky Grace. I bet you know why since you visited my blog yesterday ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteEvery young lover should know "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"!
ReplyDeleteFascinating panoramas...and now I have a much better understanding of Perth and what it looks like.
Merci!
Great panoramic shots, Grace. The first one looks as though it's taken from a plane!
ReplyDeleteExcellent city shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat place to see the city!
ReplyDeleteNice panorama. Never seen a place quite like it. You are a big city but you are so completely isolated on the west coast of Australia.
ReplyDeleteThe Shire of Kalamunda? Gee, I wished I lived near the Shire of Kalamunda so I could say it all the time.
ReplyDeleteSeems a tough place to survive especially during the dry seasons ! Nice pictures !
ReplyDeleteBonza photos. The view is definitely breath taking :-).
ReplyDeleteNow that's a gorgeous view.
ReplyDeletebeautiful skyline. nice captures.
ReplyDeletede superbes paysages, surtout la deuxieme photo
ReplyDeleteThe airport seems very close to the city or perhaps that's just the zoomed in effect! Do you get a lot of fires?
ReplyDeleteNice view, didn´t realize you could see the city from the hills, must take a drive up there one of these days.
ReplyDeleteTop pic is a top pic.
ReplyDeleteI always like a view from a hill or a mountain. You can look so far and even see a bushfire! Isn't that dangerous, we read often about the fires in your country.
ReplyDeletewhat a view ... girl, you take a fine photo!
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots Grace. Especially like the top one.
ReplyDeleteLove does many things...hoping I'll soon find a bush fire to be romantic and all that! lol. The view you had from the top is fantastic! I really love airports :D
ReplyDeleteIf your top photo and third photo were taken from the same spot, you have a good telephoto.
ReplyDeleteA fine panoramic shot of Perth.
ReplyDelete;-D
J'aime beaucoup ta première photo. Comme des champignons sortis de terre.
ReplyDeleteMerci, Gracie, de nous informer, de nous éduquer sur ton beau pays.
Bisous!
Wonderful view! Are there often fires? you seem to take them as usual..
ReplyDeleteFrom a distance, cities are like acne on the face of the earth, Grace.
ReplyDeleteThree views, each one spectacular in its own way!
ReplyDeletePrecioso momento!
