This photo was taken by last year or the year before. All I could remember is that time I was fascinated by the idea of lights travel through the forest. But apparently, I failed to get it.
If anyone could give me some advices or recommend some place with more trees around Perth, I will really appreciate.
Again, thanks all for your browsing and comments.
Another photo from years ago. Actually, I meant to take photos of Eternal Flame and Memorial on that day. But still got time after that, so I walked around to the lookout and did my first try for the whole Perth city panorama.
Here is the Outcome! Honestly, its a big WOW even for myself.

Thank you all!
This is Perth and it's reflection in the Swan river.
I have used a ND filter for the shots. In total I took three shots and stiched them in Lightroom.
Perth, capital of Western Australia, sits where the Swan River meets the southwest coast. Sandy beaches line its suburbs, and the huge, riverside Kings Park and Botanic Garden on Mount Eliza offer sweeping views of the city.

Another striking sandstone building set against a bright winters sky in Perth. I quite like the brutalist elements to this image/building
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
New Holland Honeyeater
Phylidonyris novaehollandiae
With long, slender beaks and a tongue which can protrude well beyond the end of their beaks, New Holland Honeyeaters are able to probe for nectar in the deep flowers of Banksias and Grevilleas.
Calls: The voice comprises a loud 'chik', a fainter 'pseet' and some chattering notes. If danger, such as a bird of prey approaches, a group of honeyeaters will join together and give a loud alarm call.
Minimum Size: 18cm
Maximum Size: 18cm
Average size: 18cm
Average weight: 20g
Breeding season: any time of year; mainly summer and winter
Clutch Size: 2 to 3
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 16 days
Description: The New Holland Honeyeater is mostly black and white, with a large yellow wing patch and yellow sides on the tail. It has a small white ear patch, a thin white whisker at the base of the bill and a white eye. This honeyeater is an active bird, and rarely sits still long enough to give an extended view. Sexes are similar in looks, but females are slightly smaller in size. Young birds are browner and have a grey eye.
Similar species: One very similar species is the White-cheeked Honeyeater,Phylidonyris nigra. This species has a single large white cheek patch and a dark eye. The two species frequently occur together.
Distribution: The New Holland Honeyeater's range extends throughout southern Australia, from about Brisbane, Queensland, to just north of Perth, Western Australia.
Habitat: The New Holland Honeyeater is common in heath, forests, woodland and gardens, mainly where grevilleas and banksias are found. It is inquisitive and approaches humans. It also mixes with other types of honeyeaters.
Feeding: New Holland Honeyeaters are active feeders. They mostly eat the nectar of flowers, and busily dart from flower to flower in search of this high-energy food. Other food items include fruit, insects and spiders. Birds may feed alone, but normally gather in quite large groups. Most feeding takes place in lower areas of bushes and thickets.
Breeding: The New Holland Honeyeater's cup-shaped nest is made of bark and grasses, bound together with spider web. It is lined with soft material and is placed in a bush or tree, anywhere from ground level up to 6 m. Both sexes feed the chicks. A pair of adults may raise two or three broods in a year.

More from the construction near the cultural precinct in Perth. I loved the long elegant lines of the cranes and the roof.
2025 started with a bang. Relatively strong auroras could be seen from the light polluted skies of Perth City. Would've been nice to travel to a dark sky location but unfortunately I have a 4-hour drive planned for the following morning.

Twilight in beautiful Perth, Western Australia

Perth ist die Hauptstadt und mit Abstand größte Stadt des australischen Bundesstaates Western Australia. Perth wurde am 12. August 1829 am Swan River nahe dessen Mündung in den Indischen Ozean von Captain James Stirling gegründet, mit dem Ziel, die Franzosen von der Besiedlung des australischen Westens abzuhalten. Die offizielle Gründung von Perth war im Jahr 1856. Die Stadt wurde auf Wunsch des britischen Kriegs- und Kolonialministers Sir George Murray nach der schottischen Stadt Perth benannt, in der er geboren war. Wikipedia
St Matthew's Church of Scotland, Perth
A bit of a handheld "shortbread tin" shot. I thought about a long exposure to silk up the water, but "herself" had wandered off with my tripod and was admiring the view from further down.
Waddya mean? I can't carry the camera AND the tripod .. and, apart from that, I don't pay a dog and bark myself ...

John Matthews Building (1846), 51–55 Gore Street E.
Situated on the north bank of the Little Tay River in downtown Perth, the two-and-a-half-storey Georgian structure was built for local shoe manufacturer William O'Brien and its unique riverside setting makes it one of Perth's most picturesque buildings. It is named after Mr. John Matthews, the man responsible for its restoration following a major fire in September of 1979.
The Matthews Building possesses a number of unique qualities that arise from its location at the convergence of a river and a street. First, the building has been designed as if it were a corner building, with its two public elevations dressed in coursed ashlar and accented with quoins. Circulation patterns are also somewhat peculiar, with the basement and upper floors only accessible by the three-tier wooden veranda located on the riverside of the building. Other recognizable features include the heavily-glazed storefronts and gable dormers on the building's main (south) facade. Both of these features were added during a restoration in the late 1970s that was designed to return the building to its 1890s appearance.
