One of the things I love about Paris is that if you keep your eyes open you can see little glimpses of La Tour Eiffel from so many places, up little side roads, across a 'pont'. It's the same in Sydney with the Harbour Bridge, it's iconic presence can be seen from far and wide, and even in St. Louis,
Bob shares a picture every Thursday of the fabulous St. Louis Arch.. We don't have any really tall iconic structures, well there is The Bell Tower (
Bell Tower) which I've shown previously, but because it's situated fairly low on the banks of the Swan River it's not that visible. Just lately I've noticed that the one thing that you CAN see glimpses of from the most unexpected places is our beautiful City itself, so I will keep my peepers peeled to see how many spots I can find her.. This view is from
Lake Monger a great place to walk especially if you are a bird watcher...Happy Thursday.....
tres beau panorama, et un beau traitement. j'aime bien l'oiseau tout seul au premier plan
ReplyDeleteAnd what a view it is!! Terrific capture, Grace! Such dramatic colors! Hope you have a great day/evening -- not ever sure whether it is morning or evening!! Whatever, ENJOY!

Such a gorgeous photo of a truly gorgeous place. I love the little bird...adds just the right touch!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Love this one Grace.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful view Grace!
ReplyDeleteLovely light through the trees. Alas no Eiffel Tower!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view, beautiful tree!
ReplyDeleteI can't say I noticed the ET in Paris, not being there long enough perhaps, but you are certainly correct about the Harbour Bridge. While Melbourne's Eureka building is very tall, it is not seen too often from the south, or perhaps I don't notice it. The Bell Tower is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view and wonderful color on this photo!
ReplyDeletewonderful view! would love to take a walk there!
ReplyDeleteGrace, the composition on this one is lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat golden light. Lovely shot, Grace.
ReplyDeleteWho needs the Eiffel Tower with a marvellous view like that? Beautiful capture, Grace.
ReplyDeleteNice view of the city but I just love the tree. Wonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteIt's that little pecking bird at the bottom that makes this picture just delightful. Thank you for the compliment. I try to return the favor in my Thursday post.
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely picture. The orange hue is unexpected and nearly otherworldly.
Very nicely framed shot.
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous view of your city and framed beautifully by the tree silhouette.
ReplyDeleteBises,

Diamond Head - that's ours from every angle & distance.

Funny, when in Paris I never look for the Eiffel tower. I drive past it every day on my way to and from work and could see it from the périphérique but never bother! When in Berlin however, I always look for the TV tower...
ReplyDeleteGrace, this is an absolute gem of a shot!
Great picture Grace, fantastic view! And I love the warm colors and the bird in the foreground.
ReplyDeleteGreat colour.
ReplyDeleteYep, framing them beneath the foliage was a good idea
ReplyDeletethis will be fun for you and for us.
ReplyDeleteA golden view, in every sense.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of place! A nice water view of the city with birds -- perfect.
ReplyDeleteAh- how lovely!
ReplyDeleteIn Phoenix/Scottsdale, it is Camelback Mountain that provides the landmark.
ReplyDeleteA skyline or a landscape can be iconic too. You proove it with this pic!
ReplyDeletehere its the Empire State Bldg ..
ReplyDeleteWhat a great color under that tree too! Nice "peek-a-boo" shot!
ReplyDeletesuperbe teinte
ReplyDeleteune belle histoire à suivre
It looks more like a lake and less like a wetland to me (but I'll take wikis word for it). I'm afraid the most iconic structure where I live is the "Hollywood Sign"
ReplyDeletebleh
Even then we discovered, much to our horror, it was in private ownership by a firm in Chicago who was getting ready to sell it to an arab sheik from Dubi. Hugh Hefner of playboy fame, managed to get it protected. Or so I hear - time will tell
A stunning setting for this tree! Your profile says that you feel younger than you are - later in life you'll be thankful for that,trust me!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure is your city Perth, beautiful. According to Google Earth is relatively far from the larger cities. I'm sure you have a healthy environment and the clean air from the ocean...I can't imagine the celebration of Christmas in summer. Maybe it is more pleasant than a bleak winter here. Thank you for the nice comment. Sincerely, Peter.
ReplyDeleteSuch a superb shot Grace. Love the way the silhouette of the tree frames the distant city. Great coloring. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful photo Grace! That would make a great picture, blown up and framed :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome composition! Love the colours.
ReplyDeleteI love how retro this photo looks! The city itself really is iconic. Hope to see more photos with the city :D
ReplyDeleteGreat composition in your nice image!
ReplyDeleteI love the tones here.
