Carrying on up the Terrace, at the entrance to Council House a bonnie wee Scottish flourish to a 1963 modernist style building, more about that later when I can catch it (the building) dressed up for the night :) Presented to the City of Perth in 1978 by the Perth and Kinross Council Scotland to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of Western Australia. The blue skyscraper in the background is Exchange Plaza. The colour of the sky here is untouched, I took these shots last Monday on a 25C day, you can see already the intensity of the blue as compared to the winter skies just a few weeks ago, oh it's tough living here but somebody has to do it :) Happy Sunday, take care and stay safe... p.s. would have been so cool if the breeze had gently unfurled the flags!
Perth Cooncil are still awaiting payment for them!
ReplyDeleteVery nice lamp post, Grace. Flags can be so uncooperative! ;-))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures, heavenly blue skies and you do indeed have a beautiful world, Grace!! Thanks, as always, for sharing with us! Hope you're enjoying a lovey weekend!!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful gift!
ReplyDeleteIt's a common enough name- there's a town close to Ottawa by the name of Perth.
heel mooi
ReplyDeleteNice looking place. You live in a much more interesting place than here in Florida.

If those lamps were in Melbourne, they would be painted a boring heritage green. It's good to see some adventurous use of colour. The sky is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThose skies we had last summer too. but the weather is changing in autumn already with rains and grey skies. Lucky you. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely old lamppost Grace much nicer that we have these days. Fabulous skies, be brave 'somebody has to do it' ...huh!
ReplyDeleteThose are some pretty fantastic vintage light fixtures. I love the color blue on the sky and on the paint of the lights.
ReplyDeleteI've said it before: Perth is a beautiful city!
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing! Fancy having to live in conditions like THAT!!!! Hope your weekend has been great!
ReplyDeleteThose lamp posts are lovely and I didn't know the story behind them. Thanks Grace.
ReplyDeleteI think you are a bit giddy about Spring. Enjoy! I do like those pretty blue lamp posts.
ReplyDeleteCheers from Perth, Ontario!

Love those light poles!
ReplyDeleteThat sky is unbelievable. Your weather gets nicer and ours gets worse :). Of course, I love that lamp.
ReplyDeletePerfect vintage lights and you got amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteNow that is my kind of blue! WooHoo, beautiful captures!
ReplyDeleteWe need some of that intense spring blue on my peninsula. We get a wink of blue and then it all becomes 'lovely' white cloud. Gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteThese lampposts totally ruined the view of council house. They are so out of place here. It's jarring how bad they are.
