Perth, W.A.

W.A. stands for Western Australia, the country's largest state. It's mostly made of nothing - outback, desert, whatever you call it. As you've seen in previous articles, it also boasts beautiful beaches and amazing wildlife.

Here are random pictures taken in Perth on Christmas day. Streets were rather empty that day, I wonder why.

The Central Business District.




The Swan River and Swan Bells.







I quote: "These Bells were rung to celebrate Captain Cook's Homecoming in 1771." They come from a church in Trafalgar Square, London, and have been used for various occasions both in the UK and then in Australia.

Perth, une ville déserte??
Je sais bien que tu passes bcp de tps tout seul, mais est ce une raison pour esquiver la foule humaine sur tes photos urbaines???
et pour répondre a ton message, non, je ne t'oublie pas, et je vais m'atteler a répondre a ton mail de ce pas (en tout cas commencer, pas sur que je le finisse ce soir...il est déja tard!). Moi aussi il faut que je sois 'in the mood'.
continue ta route si bien commencée!
gros bisous
