I can't remember the last time we strolled around Elizabeth Quay, it's been several weeks at least. Yesterday was the perfect late autumn day to do so, crisp temps and blue skies, parfait! Hope you don't mind an overload of pics.. making up for not posting yesterday :) Starting point at the Spanda sculpture, affectionately known as 'the paperclip'. Below heading around to the right towards the bridge. Still not many people out and about..
Below, not too shabby a spot to moor the yacht. The tall lemon scented gum trees along Fraser Avenue and the State War Memorial in Kings Park in the background to the left and the Narrows Bridge to the left in second shot..
Below a view of the South Perth foreshore from on the bridge, if you look closely you can see the numbat and frilled lizard shade canopies here and here..
Views into and out of the city below..
A last look back and then into the city. After all the time I spent trying to keep people out of my shots I'm very much looking forward to welcoming them back in :) Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe..
Good use of the wide-angle lens here.
ReplyDelete...gorgeous, thanks for taking me along!
ReplyDeleteGrace! I know very less about Perth when this year started aside from a few of my students now live there. Now through your blog, and Sami's and Iris's, it just makes me wanna visit Perth as soon as this virus is over. That bridge is such a beautiful structure! i would love to be in it and ask someone to take a photo of me from afar so the bridge will be seen! hahaa planning too early huh! Happy Thursday Grace!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are breathtaking …
ReplyDeleteThrough your lens I can see the other side of the world!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Have a great Thursday, Grace! 🤗
I always enjoy seeing Perth through your camera. These shots are absolutely beautiful. So much to see down by the water.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful day to you, Grace.
Great photos! I love seeing your city through your lens. It's such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic pics, Grace! And what a day you had for exploring the area a bit without worrying too much about social distancing. We are still sticking pretty close to home here!
ReplyDelete❤️
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of your city!
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question about my school year...we start the year the first week of August. We have a week long break in October and November. A two week break in December. A week long break in April and the school year is finished in the middle of May. The rest of our summer is for a break. Teachers (like me) work on a contract with a set number of hours we must be in school. Thus, we have been logging in some time this week, but glad to see each other and share lunch... while being socially distant :)
I never tire of that setting! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blue skies and it is good to know the impressive sculpture is nicknamed, The Paperclip.
ReplyDeleteThose arches and sculptures sure make for a lovely view!
ReplyDeleteSome fine curves in the early photos today. (Time for you to practice incorporating some people in your images.)
ReplyDeletespandagate is sort of a modern torii gate tunnel, you know? Always makes me feel good being with you, G
ReplyDeleteAmazing pics.
ReplyDeleteWow, Grace, Perth REALLY is empty!
ReplyDeleteToday we´ll only go out on our balcony.
Actually it´s forbitten, thanks to Corinna, but I bet there are groups of drunk Dads out and about on Father´s day... No, thank you, sun´ll be here, soon, 19C "already" :-)
A lot to see here and the bridge is a real pleasure to demonstrate that the distance between A and B not always must be a straight line.
ReplyDeleteWe do live in a pretty city Grace :)
ReplyDeleteLovely! A gorgeous harbour area. I love all those crazy sculpture bridges. I wonder if I will ever get to visit Perth again. I think I told you, I have a cousin in Attadale and another living in Albany. Travel to anywhere except the local grocery store seems so remote right now.

ReplyDeleteI would love to see Perth but it is never going to happen, Beautiful photos showing us around and about. Cheers, stay safe, Diane
ReplyDeleteNicely framed images here. The Paperclip is an apt name.
