Season of low sun



It's that time again, you might get a bit tired of sunrise and sunset photos soon, but starting a day's work with these views is too good an opportunity to miss. The building in the second photo has the C restaurant in it. Haven't been there yet. It revolves 360 degrees. but does get rudely in the way of my morning vista. I love those high, scattered clouds, especially in an azure sky, has a feeling of madness about them. The mist in the first photo was spread all over Perth, pooling in the hollows of the Perth basin and the sun was picking it out in spots. The perspective reminds me of those Japanese woodcuts, all done in vertical planes.

rainy nights

Rain rattling hard on the roof, and the air conditioning ducts pipe it straight into the bedroom, 4am, head back under the duvet and drift back into some very funny dreams. The water filled the local park, although I've a strong suspicion the park is really just a big drain, cleverly disguised as a field.

It had all gone somewhere by the time I walked home this evening.

My bus arrives around sundown now, the evenings are drawing in, and by the time I get home it is dusk.

Dodging showers

Showers today, the one day I ride to the station. Managed to dodge the showers, but the gray skies and autumn colours made for some nice contrasts.

Brisk walks

Went for a "nice brisk walk" this lunch time. Co opted some friends to come see the oldest building in Perth. Wholly underwhelming, but there it is, just a little yellow box, next to the supreme courts. I guess you don't have to be big to be historic. My companions were Sim, Harry and Jason. We finished the little tour off along the river front. I was there on Monday and it was calm, and full of little jelly fish and small schools of puffer fish. Choppy to day though, but sunny none the less.
