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!
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
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).

Into the unknown
This photo was taken on a misty Saturday before Christmas. (Images from this day will feature throughout this week.)
While we were at the South Inch, I took a few shots of people making their way along this tree-lined path. They included joggers, dog-walkers and this man on his bike. I like the way I caught him between the trees as he was heading into the mist.
Heading in the mist is probably a good metaphor for heading into a new year, especially this new year!
I converted this one to black and white because it improved the mood of the shot. Maybe I could have framed it a wee bit tighter – to remove the tree at the right edge of the shot.
If you think that this entry is a bit longer than usual, you’d be right. I read an article by Abby Ferguson encouraging photographers to write about their images. So, I’m going to make more of an effort in this area and see how it feels. (No, it’s NOT a New Year’s resolution.)
