It was such a pretty day in the city yesterday. On the way back from Elizabeth Quay we took a shortcut back to St Georges Terrace through the Supreme Court Gardens. I love that they have kept the original gates although there are open walk-ins on either side and the gates remain closed :) The view below of the Supreme Court of WA built in the Federation Academic Classical style and opened for business in 1903.. 55,888pounds 11shillings and 3pence well spent I say!
A walk around the corner to get a view of ..
... the front. I did not know that the court is open and the public can sit in and observe most cases. I think I may have to check the court listings and do just that.. better remember to switch off my mobile phone and check with the judge about taking pics 😉 Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe..
...lovely building and grounds!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful building, and the gardens are a cheerful sight.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous spot that is, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThe sight is beautiful and the grounds are lovely. Nice photos, Grace.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gardens and a stately building. The U.S. Supreme Court is only surrounded by concrete and buildings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful building and grounds. Money went a lot further in those days, didn't it?

Oh, Grace, yes, better check with the judge first, we don´t want to have to bail you out! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLet us know how it went, it sounds like an interesting thing to do, really!
I hadn´t even seen the gate, I have to learn to notice more and better. Beautiful views.
O jardim do tribunal é magnifico, aproveito para desejar a continuação de uma boa semana.

Such an impressive looking building. Years ago, I sat in on a Supreme Court case that was originally tried by a friend. It was quite an experience that I will never forget. It's tricky here to see a case. You have to stand in a long line and wait to see if you make it in and then you have to put all your belongings in a locker except a note pad and pen before you enter the court room.
ReplyDeleteThe building is beautiful and love those gates too :)
ReplyDeleteNice building. I love formal gardens. Wish I could make mine look lovely like this.
