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.
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.
Another striking sandstone building set against a bright winters sky in Perth. I quite like the brutalist elements to this image/building

Australian Pelican floating down Swan River, Perth on a lazy evening. The eyes look like they were painted on while the car was moving - strange.

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.
I did a trip into the Perth CBD (downtown) a couple of weeks ago. The Jacarandas were in flower and made a beautiful show in this lovely Perth Street. Mount street leads from the CBD up a steep hill to Kings Park (our botanic gardens).

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is 'Perth Pink'. This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!. This is not a wine for drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.
I was passing through Perth Central Train Station. Although it was around 10 am I found many of the train platforms were very quiet. The long lines of the platform with the dark ceilings and rail tracks made for a pleasing frame for the platforms and trains. I have several shots to post in this series.
The sun rising through the mist behind the tower on Kinnoull Hill just outside Perth. The tower itself is a folly, built in the eighteenth century by 9th Earl of Kinnoull, made to resemble castles he had admired in his tour of Germany. This location had been on my hit list for some time so glad I got some decent conditions on this visit, although within a few minutes of capturing this image the fog rolled in and completely blocked the view.
