Do you ever put a picture up just because there's something about it that grabs your imagination and for an instant transports you out of your everyday reality.. Walking along
St. George's Terrace in search of a 'facade' image for July's theme, passing
London Court (super link), hugely popular with tourists as well as a handy shortcut through to the Hay St. Mall for office workers on the terrace looking to do a bit of shopping or have lunch. Glancing up through the court the contrast between the suited gent walking away from me and the man walking towards me seemed worlds apart, the light appealed to me too. I hope that you enjoy it also, and that you have a wonderful weekend..take care.....
I just answered your question on my blog with a looong bit of info re. peonies and ants.
ReplyDeleteYou are a sharp observer and it's true that the two men's worlds are probably worlds apart.
At the first moment I thought you are in vacancy in an other country/continent :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Grace!
Oh it makes me wonder about their lives - what a moment you've frozen in time! I hope you get more good photo-walking weather through the weekend. And that it's a relaxing one. (Yes, I do yoga very occasionally, I really ought to do it more:)
ReplyDeleteLove the variety of photos you share with us. And, this is really a cool shot, Grace. So I give it a thumbs up. All the best for a super weekend, from us two :).
ReplyDeleteThe curve above and the man walking towards you made me think of a market in Africa, in Egypt!! Great pic to feed imagination! And yes, it seems that worlds are beside, but stranger one to an other..
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week-end, great Gracie!
Perhaps it's a time portal, and those two really are in different worlds.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot Grace. My initial random thought was, Is it a shopping mall, or a souk? !
ReplyDeleteI'm here again.
ReplyDeleteI've been traveling these days and, while resting. In upcoming posts I'll tell you ...
On July 1 start all over again with my posts poesiayvivencias ...
Thanks for always being there!
Rest well that we have a hike to Santiago de Compostela.
Hugs.
Thank you very much. I clicked on the link. I looked down the street with a beautiful atmosphere of Elizabethan times. Amazing place. It's a piece of traditional England. Pleasant place.
ReplyDeleteI take a LOT of photos "just because" but few turn out as well as this one. :)) This phot really appeals to me...the light, the arches, the different styles of dress, the colours....

ReplyDeleteVery amazing this visual! Arianna
ReplyDeleteI love it, Grace! For some odd reason it made me think of James Bond - who knows why? ;-))
ReplyDeleteThis has got to be one of your best shots ever!
ReplyDeleteThe archway shape seems to rather suit the man walking towards you rather than the man walking away. Interesting shot.
ReplyDeleteCould have been Egypt and not Perth.
ReplyDeleteQuite a shot!
ReplyDeleteYes, I like it very much. But Tudor England meets Manhattan banker meets Afghan shopper is making my end spin!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I get for commenting on my i-pad.. head spin of course. Bloody predictive text!
DeleteIt did make for an interesting image Craig hahaha!
DeleteIt has a real Middle-Eastern feel to it Grace ..... love the movement of the man-in-a-suit.
ReplyDeleteWow! It's like a tunnel going back in time!
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC photo!
Love this image... it speaks volumes. Well spotted.
ReplyDeleteTime warp! Have a good one, Grace.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo. Your timing was perfect. I also love the light in this shot. It looks almost dream like.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photo Grace, well done...your intuition and experience told you just when to "snap" :)
ReplyDeletePerfect timing. I love when photos make you think.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool shot Grace. Two different worlds presented here. Nice!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought that a Middle East Souk at first!
ReplyDeleteI would never have guessed this was Perth, wonderful shot. Have a good Sunday. Diane
ReplyDeleteYou seized the opportunity to capture an appealing light and subjects.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're stepping through a portal into the "old world"!!! Nicely captured! I'll bet it would look good in B&W too!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat street photography!!
ReplyDeleteI could have said Jerusalem or Marrakech.....
Terrific shot, Grace. It really pulls you in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrast! I like the way the light impacts the images, too!
ReplyDeleteYou're sure you're not entering the Cairo bazaar?
ReplyDeleteSomehow, it does not look like the Australia that I imagine in my mind.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend too! Bon weekend à toi!
The man in the middle of the picture and all the light through the portal...
ReplyDelete...give me the impression that if we cross the portal we will find ourselves in the middle of a busy souk!
God bless you!
Cezar
LOVE this .. it really tickles my imagination
ReplyDeleteAn amazing capture and timing. Well done, Grace!
