The train station next, the focal point of the city. You can get anywhere from this point, just choose a train line and pay ur fare.

This is the view onto the city, with Myers department store on Forrest Chase (the main shopping strip).

This is a pic of workers crossing Wellington street from the train station heading to work, you can see the construction going on.

Looking north from a lookout point just across the road from my folks place. You can see my bike lol

The entrance to civilization. The road leading in from the coast into the suburbs.

You'd be surprised how remarkably similar those pictures look to Calgary, both the downtown and that residential neighborhood, just take away any tropical plants and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.

Hi Matt, thanks for the city pictures, that was very interesting. I love how clean and well kept Perth looks.

beautiful city

Hi Matt,
Perth really is a beautiful city, well kept and not really too large nice and comfortable, you know my late aunt who lived in Queen's Park nearly talked me into moving there some years ago, how I wished I had listened to her now.
Actually I may be over there for my holidays in June, you see I am seriously considering going over to Broome for a week or so and then spending another week to 10 days in Perth itself.
The Bankwest building is remarkable, I used to think it was like loooking at a chisel point texta pen.
Cheers Matt.

Matt, thank you for the wonderful pictures of your life, your wildlife, and the place you live. You did get some amazing shots of those birds! But I really enjoyed all the pictures, thanks so much. Scott.

What a clean and beautiful city....of course my favorite is still the dog!! He is just gorgeous. Makes me want another one again......

Wow! The detail!

Wow, Matt! Those photos are fantastic!

I did look a couple of days ago, but it’s taken me a long to put a message to together.

I especially like the first photo, and the colours are lovely! The first two have really stuck in my mind over the past couple of days. My sister studied A-Level Photography (aged 16 to 18), as well as some other subjects, before going to university to get her BSc (Hons) in Zoology with Marine Zoology. And now she’s a police officer! LOL

And why worry? It’s great seeing other’s photos, especially in different countries. In fact, I was thinking the other day that I wish I could read more news stories from other countries on a regular basis – I like keeping up with news, though not really politics – but I just don’t have the energy, which I really need for posting on here and chatting on MSN, etc.

I’m going to study these photos more carefully later, and I’m going to save them on my computer and show them to my sister when she comes back from holiday in a week’s time, if that’s OK, Matt?

More more more!

Take care.

Regards,

Carl

Matt,

Kooky is technically trespassing, although if you and your Mum don’t mind, that’s fine! ;-) hehe

Go on – admit it! ;-) You’re jealous of him! ;-) Kooky e-mailed me and said he’d like his steak barbequed next time… ;-) He doesn’t want to ask you because he thinks you resent him a bit… ;-)

Dad commented on how lovely and clean and neat everything is, Matt – how it should be. My town is quickly becoming a mini London – it’s dreadful. We want to move out, and some of our neighbours are. We do not live near the town – it’s more the countryside here – but our town has changed so much in such an unsustainable way that it’s just not the same. There’s no proper transport infrastructure in place – it’s a old market town being developed with horrible new houses stuck in the middle of the town centre, with all the pollution and health problems that go with it. Every little bit of spare land is gobbled up for new housing in the most absurd places. I used to criticise those who thought the town was being developed in the wrong way, but they were (are!) right.

As for Billy… well, what a lovely boy. All that fluff! In his second photo (garage window), he really does look alert, as if to say, “What are you DOING?! Get in here now and greet me! OI! YOU! MATT!” ;-)

The nearest I have is my Labrador Retriever, Lucy. She’s supposed to be my dog, and she kept me company when I was in relapse in 2001/02. I was lying down, crying a little bit (sorry), and she came up to me and put her paw on my arm, looking straight at me with her worried eyes, and sat there for about 20 minutes with her paw still there. Once I had settled, she remained and then walked back to where she was before – by my feet – and sat upright, watching me, until I fell asleep.

To anyone who thinks dogs do not really feel any love or affection, please think again.



Regards,

Carl

Very grateful to Perth. After all, if it wasn't for Perth we wouldn't have:

LOL, my drama teacher at High school taught Heath Ledger when he was in high school, the stories she told us lol.

This is a very cool image of perth by night from Kings Park, which is the best place to get a good shot of perth.

Lovely, Matt!

I love night-time photos!
