On Saturday in the city we zipped up to Aimee's office on the 13th floor of
One40William St. I was keen to see her views of the city from up there. I was really happy with this shot above because it shows clearly where you enter the
Horseshoe Bridge in Northbridge and exit the bridge in the city. Northbridge and the city centre have been divided for the last 100 years by the railway lines running north and south, but these now run underground and work is well underway to create the brand new
Perth City Link area which will bring the entertainment and cultural venues on both sides together. If you look to the right in the shot below there is still the odd glimpse of the Swan River between the skyscrapers, and down below
the Wesley Church on the corner of Hay and William St. where I had hoped to take some shots of the stained glass windows, another time as it was all locked up. I hope your week has started off well, take care and stay safe.....
These are great!
ReplyDeleteOh ja, ein gigantischer Ausblick! Solche hohen Häuser haben wir bei uns nicht, ich muss auf einen Baum klettern...:-)

How wonderful to have friends in high places! I thought at first that I was looking at models of skyscrapers.
ReplyDeleteThat's a most Bonza view indeed :-).
ReplyDeleteA very surreal first picture. Invites to look at for quite a while. Please have a good Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what an amazing view! I love the idea of finally reuniting the two sides, seems they should never have been divided in the first place! Hope your week is off to a great start too :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic view. What a great development for the city.
ReplyDeleteDarryl and Ruth :)
