When we took Iris (fellow blogger from Germany) to Yanchep, 56 km north of Perth, a few weeks ago (sorry Angie in Yanchep, tried but couldn't find your phone number), we were lucky enough to be at the old Atlantis Marine Park site at the same time as workmen cleaning up this long neglected area which we were told would be opened to the public at some time in the near future. Once again King Neptune, now all spruced up and rid of the graffiti he had to bear for many years will be in the limelight, those steps leading up to his giant hand were just made for photo ops right.. Iris will be taking one such photo home with her :)
The shot above with workman in corner to give you some idea of size and below all that is left of the original marine park. Yanchep has many attractions that make the trip more than worth while, the Yanchep National Park, the Crystal Cave, a thriving Art and Culture group (oh there's that number I was looking for, next time Angie).. and did I mention the beaches :) Friday again can you believe it, where did the week go.. take care and stay safe..
It's fine photo of king :-)
ReplyDeleteQuite an impressive sculpture- nice to see the area's being restored.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure to stand on this big hand makes an unusual and funny picture !
ReplyDeleteWell look at that!

ReplyDeleteHe is huge Grace! I love the happy look on his face and the sky is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteHe is very cool, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI love it.
ReplyDeleteOh!!! So sorry to have missed you. The 'King' is looking much better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice sky you had to highlight the clean statue.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, that's a little scary. It's still not safe to go in the water.
ReplyDeleteI think that ginormous Neptune is scanning the horizon in search of the sea Grace.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Brilliant! Photos all the way :)

Huge potential if done well.
ReplyDeleteKing Neptune is quite a sight to see! I would guess that there might be some pretty pristine beaches up in that area.
ReplyDeleteA majestic king !
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteEven though I can't swim, for some reason I'm not afraid of the water. I'm not afraid of the ocean, that is. We live very close to the Mississippi River. I hate to even cross it on a bridge.
Mr Neptune looks rather grand under those radiant blue skies.
ReplyDeleteUnique and HUGE.
ReplyDeleteI will remember it.
I remember visiting King Neptune when my daughter was abt 4 (say 1983). She was gob-smacked by it all. I wonder why it went under?
ReplyDeleteI visit courtesy of the CDP portal (v4.0) newly released. Visit and see what you think ...

ReplyDeleteThese are SO GOOD Mum. you have to take me here next time ok?
ReplyDeleteImpressive as a king ought to be! Let's hope the graffiti "artists" leave him alone!
ReplyDeleteYes, that truly was some story with you just asking, hey, can we take a look? And are granted, too - thanks for that adventure, Grace!
