Steel and Balfour, Glasgow 1897-99. 5-bay, gabled and buttressed Scots Gothic church, situated on prominent corner site with integral single-bay, 2-storey hall to W. Bull-faced red sandstone with smooth buttresses and margins. Base course, band courses, hoodmoulding. Elevations to N and S with large, 2-light tracery windows with stone mullions and transoms. Other lancet windows to gables. Polygonal, finialled flèche to roof. S elevation with buttresses breaking eaves and advanced single-storey gabled section to far right. Part crow-stepped gable. Large, 6-light geometric-tracery window above central entrance. 3-light arcaded window openings to upper section of outer bays with colonettes. Pinnacled corner buttresses.
This is a fine, well-decorated red sandstone church on a prominent corner site and with a good, largely unaltered interior. The exterior of the building has a large number of Scots Gothic details including tracery windows, a crow-stepped gable and tall buttresses. The decoration is well-detailed and the church is a significant part of the streetscape in this area of Perth. The interior is particularly fine and the timber pews, gallery and pulpit create a cohesive decorative scheme.
Steele and Balfour was a Glasgow-based architectural practice, working from 1886-1902. Little is known of Henry Bell Wesley Steele, but Andrew Balfour had been an assistant in the office of John Burnet & Sons. They designed a number of churches, mainly in the West of Scotland. The partnership became more widely known after winning the competition for Largs Parish Church.
At 17:03 on 14th September 2023, arguably the most famous steam locomotive in Britain, if not the world, rolls into Perth station's platform 7 to a relatively quiet platform. This was the the 5Z76 14:21 Joppa Straight to Aviemore (Speyside) move, following its Northern Belle diagram from York to Edinburgh earlier that day, putting in place for a two-week stint on the Strathspey Railway. The former 'Motorail' ramp still exists, to be seen in front of the 'Sprinter' DMU.

I spent 2 days in Perth, i decided to keep on melbourne time. As a consequence I was up at 4 walking around with my cameras... then sadly working from 6:30am....
I shot this scene on my recent trip to Perth, Australia. To grab the reflections I had my tripod legs spread wide and half in the water waterline.
This is a composite of two images. The first taken at f/8 & 15sec, the second at f/8 & 3sec. The shorter exposure is blended over the longer in Photoshop with an opacity of 30%.
This shot has been taken from Kings Park WA.

Perth, "Western Australia"
La stazione principale di Perth.
Le ferrovie a Perth, la capitale dell'Australia occidentale, esistono dal 1881, quando fu aperta la ferrovia orientale tra Fremantle e Guildford. Oggi Perth ha sette linee ferroviarie per pendolari Transperth e 76 stazioni.
La rete Transperth è di proprietà e gestita dalla WA Public Transport Authority (PTA) ed è composta da sette linee: le linee Airport, Armadale, Fremantle, Joondalup, Mandurah, Midland e Thornlie.
I treni di Perth hanno avuto 53,2 milioni di imbarchi nell'anno finanziario 2022-23, conferendo alla rete ferroviaria Transperth il terzo più alto patrocinio tra le reti ferroviarie suburbane australiane, davanti a Brisbane.
Caratteristiche degne di nota della rete ferroviaria di Perth sono che una parte significativa è progettata per operare nella mediana delle autostrade, con interscambi dedicati autobus-treno e ampie strutture Park & Ride (P&R) fornite nelle stazioni più recenti.
I passeggeri arrivano sugli autobus di raccordo o utilizzano P&R e si trasferiscono sui treni nelle stazioni ferroviarie.
Queste caratteristiche di progettazione del sistema sono una risposta alla bassa densità di Perth.
Perth Main Station.
Railways in Perth, the capital of Western Australia, have existed since 1881, when the Eastern Railway opened between Fremantle and Guildford. Today Perth has seven Transperth commuter rail lines and 76 stations.
The Transperth network is owned and operated by the WA Public Transport Authority (PTA) and consists of seven lines: the Airport, Armadale, Fremantle, Joondalup, Mandurah, Midland and Thornlie lines.
Perth trains had 53.2 million boardings in the 2022-23 financial year, giving the Transperth rail network the third-highest patronage among Australia's suburban rail networks, ahead of Brisbane.
Notable features of Perth's rail network are that a significant portion is designed to operate in the median of highways, with dedicated bus-train interchanges and extensive Park & Ride (P&R) facilities provided at newer stations.
Passengers arrive on feeder buses or use P&R and transfer to trains at train stations.
These system design features are a response to Perth's low density.

Focussing on the light
Not that you can actually focus on light.
The point of this shot was to capture the soft light that was spreading across the South Inch. The silhouetted tree serves as the focal point – literally and figuratively.
Again, this photo has a monochrome feeling. (And, yes, I did debate the correct/acceptable spelling of focussing!)
