Winter in Perth..

 

Although the wind is howling outside my window as I type this post I took these shots just a few days ago when at Hillarys Boat Harbour five minutes from home. Now into the second month of winter we are certainly getting a lot of rain but in-between there are many many moments like this.  Did I mention that when construction of the boat harbour began back in 1985 protestors lay down in front of the bulldozers to halt progress and now it is one of Perth's most popular destinations, makes me smile when I think of it :) Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. Are you wondering if I was one of the protestors lying down in front of the bulldozers :)

  6. Grace, always enjoy seeing your photos of harbors and sailboats. Great reflections and fine light.

  7. I assumed the boat harbour was a renovated former facility, but it seems not. It has an interesting and at times troubled history. Perhaps it should be called Blue Water Harbour.

  9. Beautiful shots Grace - was the ground hard lying there? ��
    Obviously, glad Hillarys is there - have a Grill´d on me, please.
    Here sadly protesters lost, too - park is gone and a fake castle with boring shops replaced it... No rain here, just grey, 16C. Summer???

  10. One can envisage more unpleasant winters. Having both good weather and the necessary rain is ideal, isn't it? Here I hope that the summer will spare us a heat wave

  12. Beautiful reflections Grace. I am sure you would protest for the right cause Grace but lying down in front of a bulldozer seems a tad risky.

  14. P.S. I sure wanna hear some Franglaise next time! Si´l te plait... Sorry, but quatre-vingt-dix-neuf always comes to my mind when this language pops up ��
    Henry is on Ingo´s hospital-toothbrush. "Corinna", I cannot send Ingo to hospital without protection, right...

  15. I don't doubt that you were lying in front of the bulldozers. But, it sure looks fantastic now.

  19. Can hardly believe people would protest because of a Marina. And it's so popular now 😊
