A few last shots from our trip to Fremantle on Wednesday. In reality you could walk down High Street in Freo and take pics of superb heritage architecture all the way down from the Roundhouse to the city. Take a look at the shot HERE to see the high view, wonderful image, must try that from the Roundhouse next time we are there. You can still see traces above of yellow from the artwork created in 2017 see HERE beautiful, but a nightmare to remove..
There are so many quirky, fascinating shops to explore in Freo and unabashedly two fabulous book stores right across the road from each other, if you look carefully you can see New Edition reflected in the windows of Elizabeth's Book Shop. Spoiled for choice :)
While waiting for Aimee the glaring difference between old Fremantle and the new council buildings being built took my breath away, not in a good way.. not a good blend in my view, thank goodness it is well away from the High Street :) Happy Friday, take care and stay safe..
...sweet!
ReplyDeleteThe High Street has a wonderful collection of historic buildings. Hope they can keep them. The yellow optical illusion art project is terrific to see from the right spot.
ReplyDeleteSuch fascinating architecture. It's the perfect place for (as you say) quirky shops to thrive. Did you stop in to one of those bookstores? It would have been hard to resist.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I remember that artwork. So creative!
ReplyDeleteDearest Grace,
ReplyDeleteThat are incredible buildings with great architecture and so very well maintained!
Hugs,
Mariette

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty street of shops.
ReplyDeleteI remember the yellow art and am not surprised that its removal became an issue. That is such a fabulous area for Aimee to be working in, Grace!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a lot of great old buildings. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought there would be too many three storey houses like those in Greater Perth and Fremantle.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s beautiful street setting!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a place I would really enjoy visiting and exploring. Not sure you could ever get me out of that bookstore!
ReplyDeleteLook great
ReplyDeleteI remember that art project. And I kinda like that new architecture.
ReplyDeleteThat bookshop looks georgous.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, Grace, you make me "homesick" soooo much. if we could only... I would even... ✈ 😍.

Fremantle has such great heritage buildings.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say those yellow lines must have been left from that previous artwork :) Enjoy your weekend Grace
Interesting architecture. I bet I could spend all day in those bookshops. Enjoy the weekend.

It is often difficult to put old and modern together but when it has to happen I think it is best to go really different and modern.
