She was right at our left rear bumper when I leaned as far out of the window as i could to get this shot. After this encounter, she seemed to tire of us and backed off, returning to grazing. I wish there'd been some way to capture her tremendous scale. In Kenya's northern Mara. ©2025 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com

It came as a big surprise.
I had been at this beach a couple of years ago. This time, the idea was once again to shoot sunset, with the golden light bathing the peaks of the mountains standing on the other side of the fjord.
But, once I noticed some curious rocks and closed in on them, the landscape/seascape planned shots were immediately forgotten.
Hope you will like it! 😊

And that’s just what they do! I received these hiking shoes from one of my sons last Christmas. I have come close to walking 10,000 steps a day since then. I suspect these shoes have around 3 million steps now. Still in great shape!
Looking towards 'South Perth' across the 'Narrows Bridge'.
Perth City, Western Australia
WHY - IF there is 'Global Warming' do they still build bigger Buildings and go for bigger Economies and Larger Populations... :-(( LIES OR JUST STUPID!
The City of South Perth is a local government area in the inner southern suburbs of the Western Australian capital city of Perth about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of Perth's central business district. The City covers an area of 19.9 square kilometres (7.7 sq mi), maintains 203 kilometres (126 mi) of roads and a little over 4.3 km2 of parks and gardens, and had a population of about 42,000 at the 2016 Census. The City is the entirety of the state electoral district of South Perth. An area of Kensington joined into South Perth after the 2013 redistribution, although dwindling population growth in Victoria Park may mean that part of the City will move back.
The area broadly forms a peninsula, being bounded on three sides by the waters of the Swan and Canning rivers.
History
The South Perth Road District was formed on 9 June 1892 and the district became a municipality as the Municipality of South Perth on 21 February 1902. It then reverted to a road district on 1 March 1922, but regained municipality status on 1 March 1956. It was granted city status on 1 July 1959.
In 2014, the WA State Government mounted a proposal for local government reform; the City of South Perth was proposed to be amalgamated with the Town of Victoria Park, together with a sizable portion of the City of Canning. A poll took place during January–February 2015, with the question: "Should the City of South Perth and the Town of Victoria Park be abolished and amalgamated to form a new local government?". The informally (non-binding) suggested name for the new entity was 'City of South Park'.
In order for the poll to prevent the amalgamation from proceeding, at least 50% of electors from either local government were required to vote, and of those, more than half needed to vote against the proposal. At the conclusion of the poll at 6.00pm on 7 February 2015, the outcome was that for South Perth, 50.83% of the City's 26,789 electors voted, with 77.75% voting against the proposal. Although only 38.02% of the Town of Victoria Park's 20,136 electors voted, of those, a clear majority (61.58%) voted against the proposal. However, with more than 50% poll returns, the City of South Perth response was sufficient to cancel the amalgamation of these local governments, and they remained as separate entities.
