It wasn't quite so sunny yesterday and there was a bit of rain out to sea, it didn't stop Perthites from running, walking or cycling along the coast road..didn't stop the keen sailors either. Walking I do, I've even been known to run on the odd occasion :) but sailing..umm! No. There's too much going on beneath those beautiful swirling blue waters to feel comfortable n'est pas! The tanker out there on the horizon will be waiting in
Gage Roads until it's cleared to enter
Fremantle Harbour. I took these shots with Aimee's 40-150mm lens, it's a good range as the 12-50mm can sometimes be a bit short and the 75-300mm too restricting close up..Well that's the weekend over for moi, if it's still Sunday for you, enjoy..if not happy Monday take care.....
Beautiful coastline and place to walk in spite of the grumpy skies!! Great shots for the day, Grace! Hope you have a wonderful new week!!
ReplyDeleteYour winter looks very much like some of our summer days, lol! I have to say that for the past week, we've had real summer weather though! That ominous sky is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place to bike or take a stroll...looks a bit cooler than our temperatures here in Florida right now! :) Do you have Great White Sharks lurking in those waters?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful landscape and beautiful walk.
ReplyDeleteAre there many sharks?
Hugs and kisses.
Living where I do, I find grey skies quite interesting. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! In the last shot it was interesting to see (just faintly) the huge cranes in what I assume is Freemantle.
ReplyDeleteI like those grey skies; I'm already longing for autumn! :o)
ReplyDeleteWonderful place for a walk. We are enjoying a cool cloudy afternoon here in the mountains.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an interesting lens. Just like you I prefer to stay on dry land.
ReplyDeleteSo refreshing, as always, to see a little bit of what's happening round the other side. Thanks. Up to 30 degrees C in Old Perth in Scotland recently, and the government are issuing "Heatwave Alerts", which I am sure will make Aussies laugh.
ReplyDeleteLooks like mid-winter isn't too harsh! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs everything about Australia beautiful? It all looks so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThese shots made me think of a photo I took in the Pacific at Newport Beach years ago....
A wonderful promenade and a great view!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a sailor...sea sickness. But I like to watch from shore.
ReplyDeleteI am with you, Grace. No sailing for me. Solid ground is what I want. A 40-150mm lens? That would be good. My everyday lens is 18-135mm, a bit more on either side but similar. Love it!
ReplyDeleteGage Roads is an interesting name. Our similar is called something really imaginative, like South Channel.
ReplyDeleteThose sail boats look like someone placed them very precisely on the water. Perfectly spaced. Loving!
ReplyDeleteGreat weather for walking Grace ... the lens worked perfectly for these seascape-vistas.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a good day for both.
ReplyDeletereal nice!

Oh come now, they are not sailing over the Marianas Trench. Bring a life jacket and enjoy the wind in your hair.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace. There is nothing like a stroll along the sea shore to put a bounce in your step. Love the first photo with those yachts in the distance and that hint of swirling rain.
ReplyDeleteI wanna be by the sea!!!! It's no fair!!!!
ReplyDeleteA calm and peaceful day for a stroll, your pictures are excellent!

I have the same feeling, no boats for me, although I live in a country with lots of water. Maybe born in the wrong country?
ReplyDeleteahhh my favourite place...
ReplyDeleteI like BIG boats, as you know. Sail away on an adventurous week.
ReplyDeleteI doesn't look much like winter there :). Everyone is staying to their side of the path...well-behaved you lovely Perth people. Super shots out to sea...one day I will treat myself to a telephoto lens. First have to use the bog standard one I have...ha ha! (Oh...forgot about the dentist bill. Wonder what that will be!).
ReplyDeletethose are stormy skies ... doesnt look very wintery ..
ReplyDeleteLooks like perfect weather to me. Gosh I wish we'd get some rain.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery and photos! Love the sailboats all in a line.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about the lenses. I've gotten very lazy in my old age. My 18-70 and 70-300 lenses usually stay in the bag (or at home) and my 18-270 seems to have become a permanent fixture on my camera. It's not the best at any distance, but it is certainly good enough for me.
Good sailing moment! Arianna
ReplyDeleteSounds like what happens in my world! Even grim weather can't stop the peninsula folk from walking the beach or the coastal walk! Actually, it can be an exciting experience when a storm is looming! Just hard to take photos if there's an accompanying strong wind! I've had to ditch many of what should be great shots! But the wind-blown shakes ruin them!
ReplyDeleteThe sailboats look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of the top shot!
