In Maylands visiting mon amie française Marie after lunch in the Peninsula Tea Gardens a walk around Tranby House. Built in 1839 by English settler Joseph Hardy Tranby House is the third house he built, this time on higher ground after the first two were washed away in Swan River floods. It is the earliest domestic residence still intact in the inner city area. Yesterday it was the magnificent winter oaks that stole the show, brought out from England with Hardy they are almost 200 years old and in 1984 were placed on the National Trust's Register of Significant Trees. The giant Australian native Eucalyptus that I'm standing under to take this shot was pretty impressive also. Happy Friday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. gratuitous river views below :)
Wonderful shots. I like that long, long shadow in the first photo.
ReplyDelete...I like the long shadow.
ReplyDeleteI like your shadow shot, Grace! The third time building was a success!
ReplyDeleteThat top shot is a masterpiece. The others are 'merely' great, G :)
ReplyDeletethey remember me Tolkien's Ents.... nice pictures ew
ReplyDeleteWow these are great photos. Love trees but is seems odd to see them without leaves when we are still fully leafed, Won't be long though before we are raking up fallen leaves! Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteI like the river photos. Now I am wondering what the river looks like when it is in flood.
ReplyDeleteThe trees are indeed a treasure, PDP. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose trees are pretty impressive but, that tree shadow in the first shot is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is a killer, Grace. The shadow is bold and strong, I love it. I love trees when they have no leaves, they are pretty impressive. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! It would seem Australia is quite photogenic.
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic trees. Sorry I cannot buy you one of those houses from yesterday. A person from Chicopee, Massachusetts won my $700 million.
ReplyDeleteSuch awesome scenery. I liked reading the historical information too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome place.Thanks for all pics.
ReplyDeleteAnd if only trees could talk.. imagine what they must have seen during their lives!
ReplyDeleteOaks are always impressive, even in Winter.
ReplyDeleteYour 'winters' appear full of sunshine and blue sky.
ReplyDeleteAre you doing this right...?
Lovely place to go down by the river.
How beautiful the first photo with that big shadow !
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful Grace. I love the shadows!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing shadow shot Grace, but they are all lovely.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
They sure came with the right sort of people to start a living there, interesting, Grace!
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, that is a great tree, too.
What an incredible and wonderful place. I like this série of pictures. It must be nice to walk near that river
