The Swan River separates the northern and southern suburbs of Perth and not often the twain shall meet. It's been said that an excursion for either side to cross the river is 'cheaper than an overseas trip but just as foreign' :) it's true! An article titled North V South, when tribes go to war will give you some idea and although personally I could never live South I'm sure it can't be that bad :) I took these shots looking out over to the city just around the corner from yesterdays Art Deco gem in Applecross. Applecross takes it's name from the Applecross Peninsula on the north west coast of Scotland.. just incase you were wondering :) Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..

Weather conditions look ideal for a day on the water.
ReplyDeleteI will have to read that article.
ReplyDeleteAh, so there really were swans on Swan River.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Super pics.
ReplyDeleteMuy buenas imágenes..que pases dias estupendos..un beso desde Murcia....

ReplyDeleteAh, I always love the water shots and what a great view!! Beautiful as always, Grace!! I hope your week is going well!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how far a camera can see? These are terrific images, Grace.
ReplyDeleteThe first image could almost be a view across Port Phillip Bay, looking toward Melbourne. Love water view like this with a sense of space.
ReplyDeleteLove the name, "Swan River"! But if people from the same city can't live together well, what chance does the world have for the future?
ReplyDeleteI like that the author of North V South had sex workers and lawyers in the same sentence.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a place that looks like Florida Grace.
ReplyDeleteIs it me or does it look a tad chilly?
ReplyDeleteYou have made us all love your wonderful part of the world, G!
ReplyDeleteWarm ALOHA,

Yes it's an interesting point Grace this north / south thing. Being a Londoner I don't feel I could ever live South of the river and I have worked with people from the south side who regard the northern side as alien....lets hope the river never gets filled in..
ReplyDeleteIt looks like so warm and inviting to me.
ReplyDeleteYonge St divides Toronto into east and west end and you are either a west end person or an east end person usually forever!
ReplyDeleteLove yesterday's place, Grace!
I've lived in 3 North, 4 South - as long as it's near water I'm happy! Great shots!!
ReplyDeleteI guess that there are many places with rivaliries. In Houston it was the inner loopers and outer loopers ( inside and outside the road that looped around the city).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous views! So you have your own little north and south rivalry. Seems fair!
ReplyDeleteI love that name Applecross Grace. Conjures up images of orchards.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how territorial people will get! Looks nice on both sides.
ReplyDeleteHere we have always a rivaliry between Amsterdam and Rotterdam another big city, it is something stupid of people, but also funny.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading the North v South link you provided. Funny/strange how cities divide themselves.
ReplyDeletehow funny that two places so close together could be so different!
ReplyDeleteI´m a "Northie" then, Grace. Always "lived" in Wanneroo/Landsdale and it feels quite like "home" there (though, certainly, if we ever make it I think I want a tad more comfort than we had there, right?)
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand.... the zoo! And I was greeted by dolphins getting off the ferry there in 2006, I´ll never forget that.
Ack. You make me fell "home-sick"! ;-)
What a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blues!!
ReplyDeleteHartford is on the Connecticut River, which isn't even very wide, but if you live on the west side (as I do), you just don't go to the east side, and if you live on the east side, you don't go to the west side.
