Guardians of the harbour..

Red indicates port (left) and green indicates starboard (right), 

so the red lighthouse is on the left of a ship as it enters the harbour. 

 I don't really need an excuse to head down to Fremantle, it's only 30 minutes from home and there are many photo opportunities to be found but like many of you I do love lighthouses and when I read that the heritage listed North and South Mole lighthouses (click link and scroll down if you are interested in the navigational ins and outs of a harbour) had been re-painted.. decision made! Last painted in 2008 they now have the addition of a palisade fence to protect against vandalism, a shame that that is necessary but they look très smart don't you think!

I took the two shots below from the fisherman's harbour using the long lens, minus the tripod again :) From this angle the lighthouses look as if they are not too far apart but...

... the shot below taken from the port where you can see the lighthouses on each side way out there guarding the entrance to the port. Whenever I take river, ocean or beach shots it surprises me how different the sky and water colour looks from every angle, these were all taken within 30 minutes and although it doesn't look like it in the first two shots there was a heat haze hanging on the horizon. Have a few more pics from the harbour, show you tomorrow. Happy Friday, take care and stay safe...
