Just when you thought it couldn't get any hotter..meet Eddie the fire eater! Here are the last few sights that caught my eye while we were in Fremantle on Saturday. Young Eddie knows how to attract a crowd, chilli..eh that's for babies! The shot above was for the crush, the one below was just pour moi, I'm putting that advice to 'ask' to good use these days! If you're looking in Eddie, merci beaucoup!
Just a few meters up from Eddie, it was almost possible to believe that this pretty young girl was a statue, until she slowly turned and raised her fan in thanks for the money P had placed in her basket.....
I haven't ridden a bike for goodnes knows how long, but if I get ever get the urge again, I'll be back to
Vintage in Wonderland to see if this beauty is still there, isn't she pretty? A little basket on the front and off I go!
Then across at the harbour I spotted a fellow photographer taking an up close detailed shot of one of the sculptures on the Fishermen's Memorial
that I posted about here, it was a super angle because a short time later when I took a shot from the same spot, the ships in the background definitely added extra interest and colour to the image. Hope your week is moving along at not too frantic a pace, take care and stay safe. p.s. Aimee and I went to Sculptures by the Sea on Sunday, show you tomorrow.....
Oh Grace! I love hanging with you
ReplyDeleteAloha
Whew, the fire-eating scenes are hotter than chilli for sure! I think you might've hastened on Spring here:) Lovely last look at your Fremantle trip, I loved that sweet bike & the harbour scenes too - perfect angle indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe black and white gentlemen, playing * cor des Alpes*, in the middle of the city of Lausanne, had done, as well, immobile statue. They are doing that in lot of contries. I have seen in Bresil as well. Do'nt know where the fashion start !
ReplyDeleteThe fishemann could be an immobile humain statue, No ?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I have always wondered how they do that! I mean, eat fire and stand still like that! We're in the middle of a blizzard here...
ReplyDeleteI think I'll have to pass on the fire-eating -- at least for myself, but it would be great to watch someone else do it!! Your captures are the next best thing to being there, Grace! The girl "statue" is really delightful! What wonderful and fascinating sights you have in your world and I do love the tours you take us on!! Thanks!!! Hope your week is going well! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteLast year, by the Léman lake, was a mann doing levitation. Everybody look underneath to try to resolve the mystery. People are very naive. They did' nt realise, the chair was qttache to a colone havier on the * sol.*
ReplyDeleteIf you have the courage to *remonter* le blog. I had publish the photos. Very funny, everybody kneelin down, looking * en dessous.
It sound like your weekend was as busy as mine was. And, my week isn't going to be any better. I've got something going on every evening this week. Great shots here. Can't wait for the sculptures.
ReplyDeleteyou had a lot of photo fun this past weekend ...
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fun summer weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine group of photos, Grace!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great festival, except the fire eater, I can't look at them, scary.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is the weather, or the fire eating but I feel very hot and bothered.
ReplyDeleteI have seen you guys have been getting a bit of an extended period of summer heat, I wished we were getting the same here in Sydney!!!
ReplyDeleteI DO like that bike, kinda vintage funky!!!
Mines up as well at AussiePomm - A Photographers Kit!!!!
Have a great day!!
Gosh, all those photos are terrific. I love watching street artist and you have got a great selection there. Definitely something I couldn't doooooo!
ReplyDeleteA lighting bolt on Eddies arm - hot stuff indeed. Give him my number Grace...
ReplyDeleteNo fire eating for me either. And I'm not very 'statue'esque either.
ReplyDeleteRemember doing something alike while being young, this fire nearly felt cold and hence one was able to play with it. Love the last image. Nearly summer over here.
ReplyDeleteWill the fisherman tip his cap when you put some money in his basket or was he a real statue?
ReplyDeleteMy goodness Grace you did have a fascinating weekend. A very eclectic mix of photographs. That girl looks like a porcelain doll.
ReplyDeleteAn inspiring series of photos, Perth is humming with subjects. Love the photo of the photographer.
ReplyDeleteExcellent statue of a fisherman, placed where no-one is allowed to moor!
ReplyDeleteI'll prefer to try chilli. Those statue people are to be admired for their efforts. I remember the fisherman statue, the statues on the jetty there are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHey, that guy is crazy! wow
ReplyDeleteI like a lot the posing girl, she looks really a doll! :)
Great set of images!
hugs

What a lovely quarter. And sun! can you send some up our way please.
ReplyDeleteLove your post title!!!
ReplyDeleteI do like that statue on the dock.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the immobile statue trick by a busker here a couple of times. It does take concentration!
I've seen fire eaters and worry about them because I think there are some chemicals that they use that could not be healthy! Doesn't seem like a healthy occupation...period!
ReplyDeleteNice series. Never tried fire eating, but I met a guy a few years ago who did that sort of thing.
