When you're driving down the coast road towards Fremantle Harbour, if you look out to sea there will always be an orderly queue of container ships from all around the world waiting patiently (or so it looks from afar) to dock and unload their cargo. Fremantle is the busiest harbour in WA and operates 24/7 handling vehicle imports, livestock exports, cruise shipping, naval visits and so much more.. I'll definitely be showing you more of Fremantle, but for now I thought this shot might be suitable for Skywatch Friday..... btw I seem to be a little more confused than usual, when I saw the first few of your sky shots yesterday I thought 'Oh dear, they've posted too early' , as the morning went on I thought 'oh dear what happened to Thursday' hahaha! Hope you have a 'switched on' kind of weekend....!!
Love this pic - and your header shot too, it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe skyline is perfect. A beautiful picture. Congratulations.
ReplyDeletegreetings.
Beautiful colors here. The clouds look like they've been painted in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo! I love the color of the water. It's fun to think about how far those ships have traveled and how long they might have been at sea.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! Love Freo - warm W/E coming up!!! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my world :) I rarely know what day, or date it is in the 'real' world!
ReplyDeleteI once forgot to go to a clients house as I was convinced it was another day of the week, thankfully they know I live in la la land!
What an amazing sky!
ReplyDeleteCute how it forms a queue, well seen !

Great color of the ocean. I don't think the sailors are waiting all that patiently. It must be frustrating to finish a voyage at sea and then be stuck waiting to unload.
ReplyDeleteToo funny when you said WA, my first thought was WA for Washington not Western Australia.. lol! Love the shot... I live in a port city too...Seattle.
ReplyDeleteC'est fascinant, ce défilé de bateaux à l'horizon. D'où viennent-ils? Où vont-ils?...
ReplyDeleteBon week-end, Gracie!
Good shot, good clouds, good sea shot.
ReplyDeleteAnd today is Saturday here.....
Oh the blue and turquoise!!!!
ReplyDeleteLuckily, the weekend is going to happen under BLUE sky here after a week of smog!
Both sea and sky look wonderful. Great shot, Grace.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. We, too, see these ships going to Norfolk and up and down the James and York Rivers. They do seem to wait in line nicely.
ReplyDeleteDarryl and Ruth :)
Forget the sky here. The foreground's the thing for me. Ships, water hues etc.
ReplyDeleteBoats on a skyline are promises of dreams and adventures...
ReplyDeleteGreat image of ships at sea, that blue is amazing...
ReplyDeleteOh my - what a wonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo...new follower, excited to see more of Perth!! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours Grace!
ReplyDeletePretty picture! I'm always wishing for the weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow very wonderful indeed a sight.
