This structure known as 'the monument arch' is a stone's throw away from yesterdays sundial and infinitely more intriguing.. there's no link to be found, no information other than it is also a popular destination for wedding photos! The stone plinth above the rustic arch, the mosaic tiled flooring, encircled seating with it's boundary of rocks, steps leading down through the arch to the sea (bottom two shots) entice my imagination to soar :) I see shadowy figures on the eve of a solstice full moon and.. well you where I'm going with this! Again perfectly placed along this rocky outcrop of coastline it's almost impossible not be a wee bit fanciful, or is that just moi :) It's Anzac Day today, so it will be a 4.30am rise for the Dawn Service in Kings Park. Happy Friday, take care...
I can see its appeal for wedding photography. It's quite evocative, and it's in a beautiful location.
ReplyDeleteWonderful lintel over that doorway.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a really intriguing place -- of course, I have an over active imagination when it comes to places like this and its history!! Terrific captures for the day and, oh I do love your blue, blue skies!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Grace!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteOh the stories one could make up about a place like this! It reminds me of the ruins of ancient Rome. I have to add that the sea in your photos is the color of sapphires. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteA folly! How strange to build one there.
ReplyDeleteGood pics mind.
Interesting place. I love the color of the water.
ReplyDeleteAnd this exists . . . why?
ReplyDeletePerth has Crusader castles too?!

No historical info available online? How odd - and mysterious.
ReplyDeleteThe place looks suitable for a Monty Python sketch.
A great historical monument but no info?

Wouldn't it be exciting to find the origins of this monument Grace?
ReplyDelete"Just a stone's throw away", huh ? Better make sure there are no glass houses in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I'm thinking of antic greek temples dedicated to sun or to a sea god..
ReplyDeleteThis inspires all sorts of story ideas...and it would make a great book cover!
ReplyDeleteDreamful colours! Arianna
ReplyDeleteAwwww, how beautiful is that, Grace! Très jolie!
ReplyDeleteThose views to the ocean are a wonderful backdrop for wedding photos. Looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSome sort of art deal I guess. Seems like a good place for a wedding shoot.
